The Measures of Foreign Libraries to Cope with Big Deal Dilemma

Abstract

Abstract: After discussing the features of dig deal and the dilemma of big deal that foreign libraries are confronting, the author summarized some measures that foreign libraries have adopted to cope with it, such as to select per title, to negotiate a new contract, to use pay-per-view, interlibrary loan and OA resources to meet readers’ requirements of e-journals. The author also pointed out that these measures are useful for domestic libraries, too.

Key words: Foreign libraries, Big deal, E-journals, Serials
