[Biblist] Fwd: DeepDyve-Elsevier relationship terminated

Elsevier har än en gång gjort en affärsmässig bedömning Jan ---------- Forwarded message --------- Från: LIBLICENSE <liblicense at gmail.com> Date: tis 21 apr. 2020 kl 01:41 Subject: DeepDyve-Elsevier relationship terminated To: <LIBLICENSE-L at listserv.crl.edu> From: Ann Shumelda Okerson <aokerson at gmail.com <asokerson at gmail.com>> Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2020 18:36:34 -0400 In a tweet posted this morning, Richard Poynder quotes the following announcement from the CEO of DeepDyve, the subscription service that provides retail access to paywalled article content: I'm writing to share with you the unfortunate news that the publisher Elsevier (also known by their platform "ScienceDirect"), has chosen not to renew our agreement after 10 years of partnership DeepDyve offered approximately 750 Elsevier journals out of our total holdings of over 15,000 titles. However, their content will no longer be available effective 8pm PST on Wednesday, April 22nd. I apologize for the short notice -- we were as surprised as you regarding this sudden decision, particularly in the midst of a global health crisis. DeepDyve's offerings and focus on the researcher in small to medium-sized enterprises has remained unchanged for years. Through our unwavering commitment to making scientific literature more simple and affordable, DeepDyve has grown to nearly 3 million users and over 250 corporate clients who have come to rely on us for supporting their vital research. ******* -- Jan Szczepański F.d Förste bibliotekarie och chef för f.d Avdelningen för humaniora, vid f.d.
