INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL NFORMATION

Kenneth Frazier's call for avoiding the “Big Deal,” an aggregation of journals that publishers offer as a one-price, one-size-fits-all package, has won some converts. Concerns exist over the inclusion of titles in aggregated packages that are neither wanted nor used by library patrons and the financial impact those titles are having on library budgets. Most libraries, particularly smaller and medium-sized institutions, perceive great benefit from the aggregated packages. OhioLINK has succeeded in negotiating license agreements that allow for annual reductions by selecting titles in the packages for discontinuation. The Big Deal is continuing to evolve, even as it begins to fade away.
