The UH Libraries have just received our renewal for the Nature monthly
titles and I have to say after last year's 45% sticker shock increases, I
thought I was jaded enough to not get riled up this year. Boy, was I
wrong. So I have a couple of questions.

1. Has anyone managed to arrange contract terms with Nature Publishing
Group that locks them into a set percentage price cap? If so, does anyone
care to share their secrets of negotiation as best you can without
breaching their confidentiality agreement.

2. How many other libraries are considering cancelling their subscriptions
to these titles?

Thanks,
