Hey folks: I followed up with Reprints Desk about our unhappiness with their initial proposal for consortial discounts for Article Galaxy Scholar. I had asked if we could secure greater discounts if we were able to secure
a group of libraries (maybe 10 ASERL libraries at one time?) that wanted to license the product. Their reply = no, but maybe next year. (ß Reminds me of “free beer
tomorrow.”) Sigh. What they did offer is an extension on the $2750 early adopter discount (from July 1, 2021 to October 1, 2021) and a willingness to provide the early adopter discount for two years if a library was willing to
sign a two-year agreement. See attached for the revised agreement. This is a modest improvement, I’d say. I hope this is a little more interesting to you. Please let me know any questions. Orders can be directed to Tony Landolt at Reprints Desk:

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. --jeb John Burger, Executive Director Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) c/o Robert W.
