KMLM List

[J.Morrow@xxxxxxx]

Dear Jeanne -

Currently at Northeastern, if a publisher is listed on the registry for
titles that we wish to access, we would automatically assume we would use
SERU and we would contact the publisher to facilitate that.    The only
reason we would not use SERU would be if the publisher came back to us
indicating that there were parts of SERU they didn't want applied to their
content - which hasn't yet happened!  We even used SERU to renew our
Springer journal list for 2009.

Once the publisher has been identified as a "SERU publisher", it kicks into
a different workflow where we have templates in place to handle the
internal set-ups in our ERM and we now have a template letter that we can
use as a purchase document that refers to SERU.  The rest of the process we
handle like a regular subscription through to access.

Does that help?

Hello -

We have recently registered for SERU, and while I understand how the
process works, I wonder if there are others out there willing to share
any information or documents or critieria about how they have
incorporated SERU into their licensing workflow.  Do you have criteria
that you apply for deciding whether or not when to evoke the terms when
they are available, or do folks always agree to use SERU when the
publisher has made the option available?

Any best practice or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeanne
