But while Big Deals did appear to lower the rate of serials price inflation, they did not bring it down to manageable levels--and in the process, they limited academic library flexibility. This issue...describes a study that looks at the apparent damage caused by Big Deals over the period from 2002 (when most had been introduced) to 2012, specifically looking at details of acquisitions money for books and other acquisitions by type and size of library. Some possible approaches to improving the situation appear in the final chapter." 588 Description based on print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Acquisition of serial publications|zUnited States|xCosts. 650 0 Acquisition of serial publications|zUnited States|xCost effectiveness. 650 0 Acquisition of serial publications|zUnited States|xCosts |xEvaluation. 650 0 Acquisition of serial publications|xEconomic aspects |zUnited States. 650 0 Acquisition of serial publications|zUnited States |xDecision making. 650 0 Serials subscription agencies|zUnited States|xEvaluation. 650 0 Serials subscription agencies|zUnited States|xCost control. 650 0 Acquisitions (Libraries)|zUnited States|xFinance. 650 0 Library finance|zUnited States|xCost control. 650 0 Serials librarianship|zUnited States. 650 0 Serial publications. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCrawford, Walt.|tBig-deal serial purchasing|z9780838959268|w(OCoLC)883679410 830 0 Library technology reports ;|vv. 50, no. 4. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=838726|zOnline eBook.
