I think we even have a lot of this data from our resolver.arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366094683425706218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21150821.post-1828446316026101202008-11-10T20:23:00.000-05:002008-11-10T20:23:00.000-05:00I dare say that a 'pay per use' scenario is much m...I dare say that a 'pay per use' scenario is much more likely than the one that I thought of. <BR/><BR/>It wouldn't surprise me at all if the for-profit scholarly publishers introduce a 'pay per use' structure during these times of fiscal constraint in academia.Mitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662779929151451964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21150821.post-16134510017864031782008-11-10T08:35:00.000-05:002008-11-10T08:35:00.000-05:00Is another option, heretical as it may be, to impl...Is another option, heretical as it may be, to implement some sort of "pay per use" for the less used titles instead of preemptive licensing of content that rarely gets used? Ingenta, at least, has titles that require an ariel endpoint and there seems to be ways of using a common account. The pricing per article in this scheme can be quite high (I seem to remember an average of $30 US a few years ago), but I suspect this is still a far cheaper approach for many titles than direct subscriptions.arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366094683425706218noreply@blogger.com
