To contend with overall budgetary changes, Cornell University Library has decided to unbundle some of its “Big Deal” packages as well as streamline existing access to journals as a cost-savings effort and a way to secure sustainable access to online journals for the Cornell community. Currently, the Library is reviewing journal packages with Oxford University Press (OUP) and Elsevier; and are reducing the number of journals we access through Wiley and Taylor & Francis.
Join Cornell University Library representatives and learn about why we are planning to unbundle our “big deal” package with publishing company Elsevier. Cornell licenses a considerable amount of online content from Elsevier, including the ScienceDirect journal collection and it is no longer a sustainable option for our campus to maintain a “big deal” package. This session will include background information on the rising costs of access to these journals, timeline on unbundling, as well as our plans for engagement with campus stakeholders during this process.
