Unlike some publishers, there are no annual maintenance fees and access is perpetual.

The regular price for each journal back file is $2000, but you can benefit from an "early bird" special price of $1750 for any title not yet published. If you are interested in a complete bundle, we are offering a bundled price of $9000 for bundle 1 and $10500 for bundle 2. If you are interested in both bundles the cost would be $18000. Please forward this notice to your Collections Librarian if you think your institution would be interested.

Note: Since this is a cost recovery initiative, once costs are fully recovered, we would like to make our content more widely available by making the back files completely open in late 2009. We hope that libraries and the STM community share this goal and will partner with us to make this initiative a success.
