    Abstract
    Library managers are often concerned to assess the most cost effective means of access to bibliographic data. Considers comparative prices for bibliographic data on CD-ROM and in print form. In many instances, CD-ROM offers added value and easier access to data, but the relative cost is important. Library managers need not only to compare prices but to consider cost effectiveness. Differences between the nature of bibliographic data on CD-ROM and in a printed bibliography or in abstracting and indexing service, and the relative complexities of pricing structures for bibliographic data in both CD-ROM and printed form, where both hinder comparisons. Varying policies on network pricing are an added complication when assessing CD-ROM service. Concludes that some standardization of aspects of the licensing arrangements would be welcome

    Abstract
    Explores the relationship between costs and pricing strategies in the publishing of print andelectronic documents, with a view to identifying the cost factors that may influence the viability of electronic documents, in the context of reference and bibliographic databases. Presents an overview of the different approaches that publishers can take to the management of the relationship between pricing, costs and value. Discusses 3 categories of costs associated with the production of electronic and print products: database costs; distribution media costs: and overhead costs. In assessing the viability of electronic publishing it is important to recognize that it is not sufficient to seek to identify whether print or electronic documents are the cheaper to produce, but to consider all costs and to view the elctronic product in its context as part of a publishing portfolio
