One new publisher has joined the Collection for 2012 - the IET

The ALPSP Learned Journals Collection (in partnership with Swets) for 2012 contains 1070 journals from 47 publishers. With the smaller subject-collections we aim to keep the advantages of the "Big Deal" and at the same time allow you to tailor a collection that fits your requirement better. Pricing for 2012

Swets was appointed to sell and manage the Collection on members' behalf to academic and corporate libraries and consortia internationally.

The ALJC has gone from strength to strength and in 2012 is recognised as an important player in the consortia market after achieving impressive market penetration.

The ALJC is open only to ALPSP members and operates on the following basic principles:

• A standard contract is signed between Swets and participating publishers, a copy of which can be provided on request
• Journals are included in the Full Collection and in the appropriate Sub-collections
• The ALJC is offered to libraries under a single standard contract
• Revenues earned from contracts are shared on an agreed basis
• Access to content through 'Swets Online Content (SWOC)' is provided without additional costs
