British Research Libraries Say No to ‘Big Deals

Abstract

British Research Libraries Say No to ‘Big Deals reports The Chronicle of Higher Education, July 22, 2011.

“As some U.S. research libraries back away from so-called Big Deals with journal publishers, a major British library group has also taken a stand against high serials prices. Late last year, Research Libraries UK announced that its members would not sign any more large deals with two of the biggest journal publishers, Elsevier and Wiley, unless they agreed to significant reductions in what those deals cost.”
