From: "Paula Hane" <phane@infotoday.com> Subject: RE: Price projections for 2004 --Infotoday Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 12:33:52 -0600 The article on RoweCom/divine/EBSCO in the Feb print issue of Information Today was up to date at presstime (about Jan 20)-- and it referred readers to the infotoday.com site for updated information. Since then we have posted three NewsBreaks on developments in the situation -- on Jan. 27, Feb 3, and the most recent on Feb 10 (http://www.infotoday.com/newsbreaks/nb030210-1.htm) I am working on a NewsBreak at the moment to let readers know the most recent developments - it should be posted on 2-24. If anyone has useful information to share, *please* send it my way. Thanks. Paula J. Hane News Bureau Chief, Information Today, Inc.

I don't see it anywhere... In terms of the "who's going to buy Faxon" situation, I do think this article is now somewhat dated. It mentions the "planned sessions" to discuss the situation at the MidWinter meeting in late January, and has no up to date information on EBSCO's plans to buy Faxon (and the fact that SwetsBlackwell pulled out of those negotiations weeks ago). If you're looking for more up to date information, see http://www-us.ebsco.com/home/whatsnew/press.asp. This has nothing to do with price projections, but does have the most recent information I've seen on EBSCO buying Faxon. I haven't seen anything yet on price projections for 2004.
