Abstract

-- Even in this time of intense need and desire for access to electronic information, getting a consortial purchase completed while meeting the needs of libraries and publishers is a challenge. This presentation will describe the recent consortial arrangement between EPSCor/ESIG libraries and Marcel Dekker, Inc. We will discuss the process from both sides of the fence and provide some insights into a successful library/publisher relationship.
