Y os destaco: Without competition, pricing could go wild, critics claim. The registry, > which oversees pricing, is comprised of authors and publishers who stand to > benefit from high subscription fees. "There will be no incentive to keep > prices moderate," Darnton says. > > The library community recalls with horror the pricing fiasco that occurred > when industry consolidation left academic journals in the hands of five > publishing companies. The firms hiked subscription prices 227% over a > 14-year period, between 1986 and 2002, forcing cash-strapped libraries to > drop many subscriptions, according to Van Orsdel. "The chance of the price > being driven up in a similar way (in the Google deal) is really very real," > he says. > -- Marcos Ros-Martín El Documentalista Enredado http://www.documentalistaenredado.net __________________________________ "Oratio publicata, res libera est" ---------------------------------------------------- Los archivos de IWETEL pueden ser consultados en: http://listserv.rediris.es/archives/iwetel.html ----------------------------------------------------
