Subject: Re: Haworth Press journals

In her original message, Carol Morse asked "Does anyone know of other
presses that do this?" (i.e. have 3 prices for their subscriptions:
individual, institutional and libraries).

I just opened a letter from the Organization of American Historians.  The
letter lists the Organization's 2000-2001 rate sheet for institutional
subscribers to the "Journal of American History."  The new rates are based
on the "Carnegie Foundation's Classification of Institutions of Higher
Education."  So for volume 87, Doctoral/Research Universities--Extensive
will pay $275, Doctoral/Research Universities--Intensive will pay $240,
Colleges & Universities (FTE enrollment above 2,500) will pay $190, etc.

I know JSTOR does differential pricing based on institution size, but this
is the first I've seen for an individual title.
