Abstract
Libraries have been dealing with chronic, unsustainable journal pricing for many years. In response to this issue, the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA), the academic library consortium of Virginia, formed a Sustainable Journal Pricing Task Force in 2018 charged with designing a model built on VIVA’s mission and collection development priorities, with special attention given to Open Access (OA). Traditionally, libraries start from publishers’ pricing offers and negotiate from that point, but in the envisioned approach, negotiations start with a model proposed by the consortium. VIVA’s approach is designed to be a bridge between the past subscription model and an envisioned future of broadened OA options.
