FY – In case y’all had not seen via other channels. Big news out of Chapel Hill yesterday. They are going from 2000+ titles in the package to 395 titles licensed individually. See
https://library.unc.edu/2020/04/upcoming-elsevier-cancellations/ for the full announcement. --jeb John Burger, Executive Director Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) c/o Robert W. Woodruff Library 540 Asbury Circle, Suite 316 Atlanta, GA 30322 404-218-4207 -- cellular From: ASERL-Deans <aserl-deans-bounces+jburger=aserl.org [at] aserl-lists.org>
On Behalf Of Westbrooks, Elaine Louise Dear ASERL Colleagues: This morning, UNC-Chapel Hill Provost Bob Blouin and I announced to the University community that we will not be renewing our Elsevier big deal and will instead subscribe to a much more limited set of individual Elsevier titles.
That message is below and is also posted on the University Library’s website (https://library.unc.edu/2020/04/upcoming-elsevier-cancellations/)
and at https://sustainablescholarship.unc.edu. This decision follows more than a year of negotiations
that failed to produce an affordable agreement that aligns with our values for licensing content. I would be glad to answer any questions about our decision or the process we used to reach it. Sincerely, Elaine L. Westbrooks Vice Provost for University Libraries & University Librarian University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 203 Walter Royal Davis Library Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3900 t: 919.962.1301 library.unc.edu | UNC_Librarian
