"May 4th 2017 — Following negotiations with Taylor & Francis Group,
Université de Montréal Libraries have been forced to unbundle the “Big
Deal” periodicals package with the publisher, as its usefulness is not
worth the approximately US $500,000 per year demanded to access it.
Our consultation of the UdeM community has shown only a fifth of the
package (480 titles out of the 2,391 titles in the bundle deal) is
required for UdeM’s research and teaching needs. Among those, only 160
will be retained, because of their very high cost (CA $236 000)."
