From: Linda Wobbe <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2016 14:13:40 -0700 Hi Sharon, Thanks for asking. We prefer FTE/tier-based. We do NOT appreciate Carnegie Class pricing. Our 3750FTE institution happens to have Business and Education programs in addition to tradition liberal arts, and is classified Master's Large by Carnegie. The institution budget is tuition-based, and doesn't get exponentially larger just because we have Master's programs. Some vendors also take into consideration library budget as reported to IPEDS, which seems reasonable. ...Linda Linda Wobbe Head, Collection Management Sciences Subject Selector Saint Mary's College of CA Library 1928 Saint Mary's Road Moraga, CA 94575 On Tue, Apr 5, 2016 at 3:32 PM, LIBLICENSE <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > From: Sharon Landers <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 07:59:00 -0500 > > As a small publisher, we struggle with how to set our prices.
