外文电子期刊数据库捆绑纸本订购模式分析

An Analysis of Subscription Mode of Print Journal Bundled Across Foreign E-Journals Database

随着期刊市场纸本与电子共同出版模式的形成,以及期刊出版业的垄断集团化,为了获取高额利润,一些出版商采取纸本与电子版捆绑销售模式来销售电子期刊数据库,其捆绑模式有保留现有纸本订购、规定一个最低订购额以及提供E-only和纸本+电子捆绑三种形式。随着图书馆馆藏数字化,出版商的纸本捆绑销售出现了一些转变,有的出版商允许用户将纸本刊转成电子刊,有的允许用户取消纸本载体转而支付电子内容费,有的取消纸本捆绑启用E-only模式,但这些转变并没有给用户节省多少费用,并没有在真正意义上取消纸本捆绑,只是出版商换了一种销售方式而已。

With the formation of a co-publishing mode of both print publishing and electronic publishing on periodicals market,and the group monopoly of journal publishing industry,in order to obtain high profits,major publishers have been offering libraries packages of print journals that are bundled across electronic database.There are three bundle modes currently on the market：retaining the existing paper order,providing a minimum order amount and choosing E-only or print bundle.As library collections digitizes,the print bundled strategies change,some publishers allow users to turn paper into electronic journal,some allow the user to cancel the paper carrier instead of paying electronic content fees,some cancel paper bundle and offer an E-only mode but these changes do not give the user cost savings,and not in the true sense of canceling print bundle,but the publisher provide a different sale ways.
