Oregon Health & Science University Library is trying to negotiate a
license with Oxford University Press for electronic journals in 2004.
In addition to not agreeing about whether we are multi-site (we have a
split campuses 12 miles apart) or a single site (Oxford definition -
same city, 5 mile radius), they are pressing us for a no cancellation,
no substitution agreement with a 90% cancellation penalty that will
continue as long as we have "multi-site" access.

Is anyone else being requested to give up their ability to control
their collection when just trying to provide access to workstations that
are on the same IP 12 miles apart?

Best regards,

Diane
