[Nerc_librarians_list] Science Direct

[Christine Phillips]

Is there any NERC library that has signed up (or is planning to sign up) for Science Direct for 2004 and, if so, on what terms?  The service has been heavily used at BAS since it was introduced last year and there will be many cries of anguish from distraught scientists if it is withdrawn.  On the other hand, Elsevier's suggested prices are a barrier to renewal.  So it would be interesting to know what other Centre/Surveys are planning.
