Thankyou to everyone who replied!

I'm hoping we do use SERU, even if the number of publishers (at the
moment) is not large.  Hopefully the  numbers will grow.

Cheers

Hi,

I hope you give SERU a try. For ages we've complained about wasting time

with licenses. Here is a standard way to do away with them which 
preserves fair use rights!

We are registered, as is the consortium I work with, SCELC. I can 
confirm there is no cost. SCELC has worked with several publishers who 
are registered with SERU, including Springer and Project Euclid. I just 
wish more publishers would join!
