Dutch-German
Library Joint Licencing Principles and Guidelines
A coalition of 15 Dutch scientific research libraries, concerned
over the anticompetitive implications of the proposed merger of two
major scientific journal publishers, Reed Elsevier and Wolters
Kluwer, has adopted a set of principles aimed at bolstering their
position in negotiations with publishers over electronic journals.
The principles stipulate that libraries that subscribe to a print
version of a journal should not have to pay more than an additional
7.5% for electronic access to that same journal, and that libraries
should not pay more than 80% of the print rate to subscribe
exclusively to the electronic version. A group of German librarians
who helped draw up the principles are expected to sign on as part of
the coalition, and it's hoped that many European libraries will
follow suit.
