From: Anna Creech <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:08:58 -0500 CRKN to Terminate National Agreement with the ACS November 26, 2012 The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) has announced a decision to terminate the national license agreement it has held with the American Chemical Society (ACS) since 2001 for its Web Editions and Legacy Archives products. Termination of the CRKN-ACS license will take effect at the end of 2013, at which time participating libraries may choose to contract directly with ACS or implement alternate arrangements. The decision to terminate the national agreement was taken by the CRKN Board of Directors after the organization’s negotiating team was unable to reach a renewal agreement with ACS, owing to fundamental issues with the new pricing model adopted by ACS for its international (non-US) library and consortia customers. more: http://www.crkn.ca/communications/crkn-to-terminate-national-agreement-with-the-acs
