2005 Prices for ALJC available

2005 Prices for the dramatically expanded ALPSP Learned Journals 
Collection (ALJC) in partnership with Swets are available today; the 
2005 collection includes no fewer than 433 titles from 44 publishers.

Pricing is based on a percentage of the ALJC's current collective value 
andis guaranteed for 3 years. Both print-plus-electronic and electronic-
onlyoptions are available - customers may migrate from one to the 
other, atannual renewal, during the 3-year licence agreement period. 
Special consortia; arrangements are available. Detailed pricing and 
licence information is available on the ALJC website (www.alpsp-
collection.org).

Existing ALJC licensees will shortly receive a customised proposal for 
thepackage of new titles added to the collection.

The ALJC enables small and medium-sized publishers to package their 
journals under a single umbrella licence, pricing model and delivery 
platform. Since the launch of the ALJC, Swets Information Services has 
coordinated the complex licensing and legal structure and provided a 
worldwide sales, marketing and access channel. This unique initiative 
forms part of Swets' far-reaching e-journals management drive.

The ALJC spares customers the hassle of negotiating e-licences and 
pricing with 44 publishers, allowing them to access high quality e-
journals directly via SwetsWise Online Content. The 433 ALJC titles are 
available both in the full collection and in three discipline-specific 
packages in the areas of medicine & life science (126 titles), science 
& technology (110 titles), and the arts, humanities & social sciences 
(225 titles). 

Customers may continue to purchase through their preferred subscription
agent.
