Title

¬A comparison of pricing strategies for bibliographic databases on CD-ROM and equivalent printed products

Source

Electronic library. 12(1994) no.3, S.169-175

Year

Abstract

Library managers are often concerned to assess the most cost effective means of access to bibliographic data. Considers comparative prices for bibliographic data on CD-ROM and in print form. In many instances, CD-ROM offers added value and easier access to data, but the relative cost is important. Library managers need not only to compare prices but to consider cost effectiveness. Differences between the nature of bibliographic data on CD-ROM and in a printed bibliography or in abstracting and indexing service, and the relative complexities of pricing structures for bibliographic data in both CD-ROM and printed form, where both hinder comparisons. Varying policies on network pricing are an added complication when assessing CD-ROM service. Concludes that some standardization of aspects of the licensing arrangements would be welcome
