Re: Elsevier 'associated' subscriptions Koveleskie, Judith 19 Apr 2005 18:39 UTC
What if the faculty member had it sent to a different address? How would Elsevier know? I understand that they don't want faculty copies, paid for at a lower rate, to drift into the library collection, but how can they prevent and individual researcher from obtaining needed information?

I confirmed this with their customer service department. -Jennifer Jennifer van Sickle Serials Librarian/Sciences Coordinator Trinity College Library 300 Summit St. Hartford, CT USA 06106 phone: 860-297-2250 fax: 860-297-2251 jennifer.vansickle@trincoll.edu -----Original Message----- From: SERIALST: Serials in Libraries Discussion Forum [mailto:SERIALST@LIST.UVM.EDU] On Behalf Of Blake, Julie C.

By "restricting" do you mean that Elsevier will not allow individual faculty to subscribe if the organizational library doesn't? That seems like a real way to lose even more customers! Except for research institutions, most of us can't afford to support individual faculty research, so I can think of lots of instances in which an individual would want a subscription that the library doesn't have. Or are they simply refusing to allow the issues to be donated to a library? That I can more easily understand. Julie Julie C. Blake Collection Management Coordinator and Asst.
