<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We’ve only just noticed this ourselves, when two titles appeared on our 2021 renewal invoice for £15, much, much cheaper than they
were in 2020, and when we queried that we were told because “they’ve gone Open Access.” Which led us to ask okay, why are they £15 then if they’re OA? EBSCO replied that it was an error and they’ll issue us a credit. So, interesting to learn that there are
reasons for EBSCO charging a nominal fee for OA titles – but yes, we’ve reached the same conclusion as Sally and decided not to pay.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I have them removed but I believe one reason to keep them on the invoice is to have them included in any EbscoNet lists/reports/automatic integration
that you might use to keep track of the journals your library makes accessible to your patrons. They would appear in reports and if you have the Ebsco A-Z list, link resolver, and use the automated integration they offer, I believe they would be automatically
added to your tracked titles in your A-Z list. We turned off that automated integration so it didn’t make sense for us to pay the $15 per title. There may be other reasons/advantages too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

asked our customer service rep with EBSCO about these, she said "The $15.00 is a fee EBSCO charges to keep open access titles on your invoice. You can choose not to have this option if it is not important to you."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
