Dear colleagues

Jisc Collections has completed negotiations with Taylor & Francis for
continuing access to the T&F Journals Library. The following press
release highlights the progress made in beginning to address the Total
Cost of Ownership of Scholarly Communications through the introduction
of an offset system to mitigate the cost institutions face in
maintaining subscriptions and paying for article processing charges.

Jisc Collections and Taylor & Francis agreement extends access to
journal content

Taylor & Francis Group and Jisc Collections – which supports the
procurement of digital content for education and research in the UK –
have reached agreement to provide UK libraries with extended access to
content published in Taylor & Francis journals.

Following extensive discussions between Taylor & Francis, Jisc
Collections and RLUK, and in consultation with the wider UK library
community, for the first time the deal includes an offsetting
agreement for articles published on an Open Access basis in hybrid
journals. For articles published under Taylor & Francis’ hybrid open
access publishing model, Open Select, the offsetting agreement offers
discounted Article Publishing Charges via a voucher system determined
by expenditure. This decision recognises the continuing growth in Open
Access research, and Taylor & Francis wishes to participate in pilots
which explore the potential for transitioning business models.

The other main features of the agreement are as follows:

-          Three-year agreement

-          Post-termination access to core-subscribed titles

-          A substitutions allowance

-          Improved subscriptions reinstatement conditions for new entrants

-          Access fees now entirely Jisc-banded

-          A reduced annual price increase if an institution places
its order by 15 December.
