2.12.11 RLUK Members welcome new and improved terms with largest journal publishers
JISC Collections, with support of Research Libraries UK, has negotiated improved deals with publishers Elsevier and Wiley resisting the excessive journal price rises experienced over recent years.
According to Phil Sykes, RLUK Chair:
"These deals serve as new benchmarks for our relations with other publishers, as RLUK’s members will no longer accept massive unjustified price rises. We will continue to scrutinise all offers carefully in the future to make sure we get best value for money and to ensure that we do not pay for new, untested journal titles as part of ‘all-or-nothing’ packages."
