From: adam hodgkin <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 11:16 AM Dear Colleagues Is there a 'best practice' about FTE pricing. We are planning to provide institutional licenses to consumer magazines, some with high cultural content, which would include web access and access via iPad apps to provide full archival searching, saving of searches and various forms of social interaction, and we are wondering whether there is a 'model' approach that should be used? == is a stepped approach preferred? If so how many steps is easy? == or some smoothly scaled formula starting from a minimal base? == is there any consensus about how FTE for universities and colleges should be offered in relation to a parallel metric for population sizes for public libraries? == have their been any studies on what constitutes 'fairness' in FTE or population based pricing Any advice or pointers received with thanks My institutional affiliation is: [log in to unmask] https://exacteditionsblog.wordpress.com/ http://twitter.com/adamhodgkin Adam Hodgkin
