From: Richard Savory <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 3:18 PM 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. Regards Lorraine Estelle Executive Director of Digital Content and Resource Discovery and CEO Jisc Collections ******* 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.
