I did not see any responses to this, so thought I'd throw in my two cents on this topic. We also are receiving "pressure" both from the vendors (most recently Atlantic) and faculty (trying to get to exclusive web content). ILL staff are also frustrated when
they cannot fulfill requests for these articles. For what it's worth, we are saying "no" to starting these subscriptions, particularly where there is large overlap with our other access for that publication. We communicate our reasons to our faculty, and
I tell the vendor reps our reasons as well:</div>

<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">We tell faculty the annual cost of a "web subscription" (thousands of dollars) and that it would gain access to very little content we don't already have</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">In some cases we had previously purchased and own the online archive/backfile, so that being 'thrown in' by the publisher is not a benefit for us.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">We often already have access to formally packaged 'issues', including the latest packaged issue, in full-text databases (e.g., EBSCO databases).</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">We additionally often have access to much of the content through Nexis Uni.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;"><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">I realize that these news publications are struggling, and they do good work, but our library cannot pay repeatedly for large amounts of overlapping content
on different platforms. And the quotes we are getting for web access at around $5,000/year for EACH of these newspapers/news magazine site licenses is not something we can afford.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;"><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Maybe if enough libraries say "no" and tell the vendor reps why, they will figure out some alternatives that might be mutually beneficial - e.g., a much
lower subscription rate if library also has large content overlap through other means (owned or subscribed), or we might be willing to pay a reasonable amount for individual purchase of "exclusive" online articles to supply through ILL to our patrons. </span></p>

Does anyone know how to ascertain how much content from popular source magazines and news is not getting pushed to aggregators? For example, we have felt pressure to purchase site licenses to newspapers and popular source magazines like
<i>The Atlantic</i> because there is a lot of "online exclusive" content that is not being pushed to aggregated databases that support content from that publisher. I'm just curious to know if there is a way to determine how much content is now considered "online
exclusive" and not covered by our aggregator subscriptions. I'd also be interested to hear about any of your anecdotal experiences with this as well!</div>
