CCL Summer Newsletter (pdf)CCL partners with E.S. Burioni Ricerche Bibliografiche to manage national negotiations on behalf of Italian academic institutionsMarch 2007 Content Complete Limited (CCL) the UK-based negotiations and support services company and E.S. Burioni, one of the leading distributors of online information and consortia consultant in Italy, have joined forces to handle contract negotiations for online journals on behalf of the academic community in Italy. In late 2006, CARE, the co-ordination group for access to electronic resources established by the terms of the agreement reached by CRUI – Permanent Conference of the Rectors of Italian Universities - and Italian Consortia and other Groups operating in the market for electronic licenses, undertook a market survey to identify candidates to undertake negotiations on their behalf with a leading STM publisher. A formal tender procedure followed the initial market soundings and a contract was awarded to the combined team of E.S. Burioni and CCL. The combination of Burioni and CCL brings together in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Italian academic landscape and considerable experience of contract negotiations in the STM online journals market.

CCL coordinates e-journal pricing trials Jan 2006Content Complete Ltd has been commissioned by JISC - part of the Higher Education Funding Council in the UK - to coordinate and manage the trials of two journal business models. Five publishers and 10 university libraries have agreed to test the two models during 2006 and report back on the findings. The models both include the ability to access all the journals of the publishers and to pay a fixed amount per download, in some cases as the main means of purchasing access and in other cases as a way to pay for access to peripheral journals, in addition to core subscription expenditure. The trials follow a report on Journals Business Models prepared in 2005 for JISC by RightsCom - a copy of which can be seen at the NESLi2 website: click here...
