contour Benefits for Library Consortia contour
 
1 Swets represents all 50 publishers during consortia negotiations and is the single administration agent for licences
2 ALJC offers a fair licence agreement beneficial to customers and publishers, which has been tried and tested since the launch in 2003
3 The collection provides an affordable and flexible solution to purchase a wealth of high-quality content
• Prices can be adjusted to the needs of the consortium; we can provide prices per member or collectively
• The electronic fee is calculated using a small percentage of the total list prices of the journals included in the Collection
• Studies in various subject areas have consistently shown that commercial journals can cost 2-5 times as much as their not-for-profit equivalents - the ALJC includes a significant portion of this publishing sector
4 We provide special prices for groups of institutions ranging in size from small (5 members) to large (over 100 members) interested in the ALJC Full Package. These prices are available on request.
5 Access will be activated within 24 hours
6 The Collection is an unique initiative of smaller- and medium-sized publishers to facilitate access

Bülent Karasözen of the Anatolian University Library Consortium (ANKOS) testifies, “With over 80 members, ANKOS has a number of consortial agreements with major publishers. Because access to electronic journals is handled via bundled packages, it’s difficult for consortial deals to be arranged for journals from smaller publishers. The ALJC provides us with a unique and simple solution to this problem, offering access to a substantial collection of valuable journals that we would be unable to subscribe to otherwise.”
