Dear Colleagues,

We are about to renew our agreement with Encyclopaedia Britannica for
our BIBSAM consortium in Sweden. However, EB insist to charge us for
their newly launched App, not for the first year (2013), but for the
coming years in the agreement period (2014-2015).

We have some other publisher and vendors that offer Apps, but at no
extra charge, and we think that´s how it should be; an application to
reach the content easier. And since we pay for content we won´t pay
extra for an App.

But, EB insists. Is there anyone of you who have similar experiences
to share, and good arguments?

Kind Regards

Anders Höijer
