目的
本文旨在介绍荷兰马斯特里赫特大学图书馆在评估电子订阅方面的经验。为了评估大额交易，建立了一个工具来获得一揽子交易价值的概述。对于个人订阅，研究了控制不断上升的成本的方法。
设计/方法/方法
本文展示了图书馆工作人员如何努力获得对电子内容更新的更多控制。对几种方案进行了调查，并在实践中进行了尝试。
发现
为了使用评价工具，这些学院提供了期刊的核心标题清单。将这些与使用统计数据、套餐中的书目和这些书目的标价结合在一起后，工作人员将获得一份报告。这份报告对做出续签的决定很有帮助。然而，很明显，很难控制个别期刊订阅量每年大幅上涨的情况。
原创性/价值
这是为数不多的关于试图控制期刊价格上涨的论文之一。本文描述了世界各地图书馆遇到的一个主题，从而将有助于满足参与馆藏和许可证管理的图书馆工作人员的需求。
Purpose
This paper aims to describe the experiences of the Maastricht University Library in The Netherlands with regard to the evaluation of electronic subscriptions. For the evaluation of Big Deals, a tool was built to obtain an overview of the value of the package. For individual subscriptions, ways were investigated to keep rising costs under control.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper shows the ways in which the library staff endeavoured to gain more control over the renewal of electronic content. Several options were investigated and tried out in practice.
Findings
To use the evaluation tool, the faculties delivered core title lists of journals. After combining these with usage statistics, the titles in the package and the list prices of these titles, the staff are provided with a report. This report is very helpful for making a decision about the renewal. However, it is clear that it is difficult to control something the steep annual price increases of individual journals subscriptions.
Originality/value
This is one of the very few papers published on attempts to control journal price increases. The paper describes a subject that libraries worldwide encounter and thus will help to meet the needs of library staff involved with collection and license management.
