RE: Usage-based licensing models

["Laura Cox" <laura.cox@frontlinegms.com>]

Maria,

This reference applies to consortial deals in particular.  The 
survey primarily analysed online journals rather than e-books. I 
can tell you that of the publishers surveyed with consortia 
packages available, 20.4% included other materials such as 
e-books, reference works and data sets in their offerings to 
consortia.

Of all of the publishers offering packages specifically for 
library consortia, 13.9% are now using usage as part of the 
method for determining pricing.

If you would like further information do let me know off list.

Kind regards

Subject: Usage-based licensing models

Hi, I would like to have some information on usage-based 
licensing models. Does anyone know any? I read in the Executive 
Summary of the recent ALPSP survey

> http://www.alpsp.org/publications/SPP2summary.pdf

that some publishers are experimenting pricing models based on 
usage. Does it refer only to e-book market? What about 
e-journals? Sincerely, Maria Cassella
