Method for Electronically Ordering Journals and Publications by a Consortium

摘要

A method for handling the entry and audit of new and renewal orders for all formats of content. The method assists with automatically populating library discovery tools, providing pre-financing, and prompt payment, tracking individual package components, providing automatic detailed invoice loads to integrated customer systems and automatically auditing package contents, and bringing efficiencies to the renewal process by ensuring a consortium's renewal order complies with the publisher license commitments. The method ensures compliance with regard to licensing terms, price caps, minimum spend, titles added, titles sold, and titles deleted.
