[Eril-l] ACS Journal Packages

[Ann Erdmann]

Hi Jill,

At our library, we are down to the 5 titles, plus tokens model with ACS. I was not aware that they are offering a tokens only package at this point, but if they are that is very good news for libraries. A have talked with folks on the ACS program accreditation team and have been assured that you do NOT have to have subscriptions to ACS content in order to have an accredited program.

Here are some articles from when SUNY Potsdam walked away from ACS. They went with Royal Society instead, but I have heard that their prices just went way up also.

Hi All,

Has any one who works at an institution of higher education in the U.S. with an accredited Chemistry program canceled their ACS subscriptions and just gone to a token model for access?

Curious to know if this has worked for anyone?

If not, has anyone regardless of Chemistry program accreditation, used the just the token program with ACS titles & if so, how do you think it works for you?

Thanks in advance for any information provided.

-Jill
