Hi all

I agree with Carol

We adopted SERU for our new journal of Human Rights and the Environment
(www.e-elgar.co.uk/jhre) after we had feedback from a librarian at a major
university that it would allow them to subscribe immediately rather than
spend time negotiating and waiting for a committee to approve the license
agreement.
