In any case, Harrassowitz usually wants to have our renewals by Sept 1st (although if we can do them earlier, that’s always welcome), as they want to pay publishers / providers in sufficient time prior to the upcoming calendar year expires / renewals as well as the non-calendar year renewals. Harrassowitz doesn’t just say they would like to pay the publishers on time, they really DO pay the publishers on time – and when those payments to publishers / providers are made in a timely manner, that cuts down significantly on renewal-related problems (delayed receipts, loss of access, etc) on our end. Vendors appreciate our building in sufficient lead time as much as we appreciate them doing the same for us. Negotiating these things with your subscription agents / vendors is a two-way street, and I’ve found that most major vendors will work with us to define such service expectations or parameters, as they realize different libraries can have different fiscal year periods and different budget cycles, as well as very particular local needs. Treat all these things as negotiations and create mutually-acceptable service arrangements that meet your needs and that won’t tie either you or your vendor(s) in knots. Define your service arrangements sufficient to your needs and expectations, but build in enough flexibility so that you have maneuvering space should some unforeseen budgetary crisis or other situation occur in the late summer / fall just as you are trying to ‘finalize’ your cancellations / renewals with your vendor(s). – Gaele Gillespie > > --------------------- > E.

There are some expensive titles, like Chemical & Engineering News, that looked like they had zero use over the last several years. But C&EN is on a different platform from the other ACS titles, and they don't do COUNTER-compliant usage reports, so I had to ask them specifically for usage and put that in a COUNTER-compliant template to upload for usage stats analysis. > > And don't get me started about SUSHI. > > Colleen > > On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 1:55 PM, SERIALST automatic digest system <LISTSERV@listserv.nasig.org<mailto:LISTSERV@listserv.nasig.org>> wrote: > There are 2 messages totaling 2526 lines in this issue. > > Topics in this special issue: > > 1.

Also 3 other UCLA published journals are on the Allen Press platform - Amerasia Journal, American Indian Culture and Research, and AAPI Nexis (http://uclajournals.org/<https://t.e2ma.net/click/tit5h/9ywfyf/9aul2c>). > > > Baywood titles moving to Sage - http://www.sagepub.com/baywood.sp > > > Greg Yorba > gyorba@fullerton.edu<mailto:gyorba@fullerton.edu> > CSU Fullerton, Pollak Library > Library Serials > > > ############################ > > To unsubscribe from the SERIALST list: > write to: mailto:SERIALST-SIGNOFF-REQUEST@LISTSERV.NASIG.ORG > or click the following link: > http://listserv.nasig.org/scripts/wa-NASIG.exe?SUBED1=SERIALST&A=1 > > ------------------------------ > > End of SERIALST Digest - 30 Apr 2015 - Special issue (#2015-94) > *************************************************************** ############################ To unsubscribe from the SERIALST list: write to: mailto:SERIALST-SIGNOFF-REQUEST@LISTSERV.NASIG.ORG or click the following link: http://listserv.nasig.org/scripts/wa-NASIG.exe?SUBED1=SERIALST&A=1
