Title

Issues in multiple use and network pricing for CD-ROMs

Source

Electronic library. 13(1995) no.5, S.483-488

Abstract

In order to achieve an appropriate level of revenue, CD-ROM database publishers need to attempt to control access to their databases when they are used in a networked environement. This has led to the creation of complex pricing strategies for the networked use of CD-ROM databases. Identifies some of the key issues for pricing of CD-ROM databases and then focuses on the issue of network pricing, using as case studies the network pricing strategies for BIOSIS, SilverPlatter, Dialog OnDisc and Reedbase. Concludes that a stable pricing startegy for networking CD-ROM databases has yet to be achieved but that greater consistency between vendors must be in the best interests of all parties in the information marketplace
