From: "Fowler, George J." <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2014 20:21:52 +0000 All, I am most likely not even looking at things correctly, so I need your considerable and considered help! I was just approached by a faculty editor of a journal that is hosted at our institution, who had a proposal from a major publishing vendor. It looks like the intent is to include the full-text of the journal in one or more of the vendors' databases, but I cannot confirm that. From talking with the faculty member, he indicated that we would continue to host the journal, but the vendor would be able to use the content in a manner they deemed appropriate. The vendor is offering to pay royalties equal to 20% of the net revenue collected for inclusion of Content from the Publications on Products sold. Is that a fair amount? Also, what should I be looking for that I am not mentioning? Thank you for your assistance.
