Kudzu-Ops Mailing List: FW: ASERL AGS Proposal

[John Burger (jburger]

ASERL Resource Sharing Friends:

 

Attached please find a proposal from our partners at Reprints Desk for their new Article Galaxy Scholar (AGS) service.  They include an incentive for libraries who commence the service before July 1, 2021.

 

I am aware of one ASERL library (LSU) that is reviewing the contract, with an intent to sign, and another (Memphis) who is in a trial period but also expects to sign on for at least an initial year.

 

Frankly, I am disappointed in the discounts offered here, but so far have gotten no adjustments from Reprints Desk.  Perhaps if we can assemble a significant group of libraries that want to use the service, we can negotiate better pricing.

 

** PLEASE REVIEW THE ATTACHED AND CONTACT ME IF YOUR LIBRARY WANTS TO USE ARTICLE GALAXY SCHOLAR, SO I CAN ATTEMPT TO NEGOTIATE FOR BETTER PRICING WITH A KNOWN GROUP OF INTERESTED LIBRARIES **

 

Thanks much.
