This ( press ) announcement which I ran across, dated 4 October,
may be of interest to many persons here. I don't know whether the
company intends to send it directly to this list, but I have at least
seen no sign of it yet.

I didn't diligently investigate, but I find the announcement itself ( so
far, at any rate ) only in a German-language version, entitled "Patron
Driven Acquisition als neuer Weg zu Forschungsresultaten. De
Gruyter präsentiert nach Abschluss einer einjährigen Testphase sein
neues Geschäftsmodell", at:

with a link to a shorter webpage ( http://www.degruyter.com/page/428 )
which *does* exist also in English-language version ( see language
choice at upper right ), entitled "Patron Driven Acquisition Offers
Libraries Considerable Benefits -- De Gruyter Presents New Model
for Digital Content Distribution".
