From: Janice McCallum <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:00:21 -0500 Ann, Here's a link to the post I wrote after I read the news today: http://www.healthcontentadvisors.com/blog/2015/1/15/springer-sciencebusiness-mergers-with-holtzbrincks-macmillan.html. There are lots of issues I skipped over, including culture issues and financial ( e.g., debt) concerns. But, with respect to libraries, I think the merged entity will have greater negotiating power. Oops, I just noticed the typo in the title of my post! Best regards, Janice McCallum
