<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know how comprehensive it is, but our NewsBank subscription includes the text of online-exclusive articles from major newspapers (not magazines like the Atlantic, though). That’s caused some confusion however because the content
tends to be divvied up 3-4 in knowledge bases: there are links/catalog records for the daily newspaper content (i.e. what’s printed for the traditional newsstands), for the online-exclusive content, for the weekend edition content, etc). The division makes
sense from a cataloging perspective, but it can seem convoluted for researchers and general readers. But perhaps they can be compared somehow?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The #1 reason I’ve been asked about subscribing directly to a news provider is access to photos, graphs, and interactive data visualizations. Those are elements we can’t get through an aggregator, and some newspapers have increasingly
used them to enhance or anchor their articles. As the content becomes more visual, the text-only articles at Nexis Uni or NewsBank can seem insufficient to some. But at the same time, the demand for that specific content isn’t so high that the costly subscriptions
seem justified. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">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:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;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><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;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><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;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><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">We additionally often have access to much of the content through Nexis Uni.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;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><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;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><o:p></o:p></p>

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!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
