ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL DIGEST SERIALST Commercial Digest pilot project: Since June 2008, the SERIALST moderators have been experimenting with compiling and distributing a Commercial Digest once a week, on Friday afternoons, with messages containing informational content from commercial bodies (i.e., publishers, vendors, agents, etc.). The moderators review submitted messages for informational content that may interest our subscribers. We reserve the right to reject messages that are purely for advertising or product/service solicitation, with little or no informational content beyond the solicitation, as well as other content that are not within the scope and purpose guidelines of SERIALST (see: http://www.uvm.edu/~bmaclenn/serialst.html) If you have thoughts or feedback about the Commercial digest, or other aspects of SERIALST, please let us hear from you.

We have summarised the details below with a link to further information. We would be grateful if you could post the notice below to your listserv. Yours sincerely Richard Noble Subscriptions Manager SGM introduces new 2010 Pricing Model The Society for General Microbiology (SGM) is introducing a revised pricing model for its journals in 2010. Under its new, tiered pricing structure, prices will depend on a number of factors, including the size and type of the organization. This model will include more flexible site licences, which will entitle organizations to a level of access across several sites within one or two cities through a single licence, rather than requiring multiple subscriptions or multi-site access. SGM has worked extensively with industry partners to assign tiers to customers. The majority of SGM customers will fall into tiers 1 - 4 and pay a set, tiered, price. For some of SGM's customers this will mean a reduction in the price they pay. Very large customers, or those wanting access in sites across three or more cities, will be allocated into tier 5, for which custom prices will be agreed. In order to provide time for a review of tier allocations and budgets in advance of 2010 renewals, SGM has contacted customers directly and is working closely with subscription agents to ensure that customers receive early notification of their tier allocation and renewal price for 2010.
