Hi Craig --

There should be no such things as multi-site licenses. If a university has a single administration, a single WAN, there is no earthly reason for there to be anything but one price. If your licenses offer remote access (and if you plan to have any success your licenses will do so), then the idea of multi-site licenses becomes moot at best. You may find some more information about that on the liblicense listserv.

Subject: [SERIALST] Price differential for multi-site licenses

Hello, all: I work for a relatively small educational association, and
I'm trying to drag our academic quarterly into the 21st century. We
currently offer a print-and-online subscription only, but I'd like to
offer an electronic-only subscription option and multi-site licenses.
The electronic version of the journal is hosted on Ingenta. Here are my
questions:

1. Can you give me some idea of the usual price differential between
print-and-online and online only? I realize that some publishers are
gouging libraries for the online option, but we're not interested in
doing that.

2. Can you give me an idea of the usual price differential for
multi-site licenses? I can't seem to find this kind of information
anywhere.

I'd appreciate any advice you could offer.

Thank you,
Craig
