[LIBRARYDIR] {Disarmed} SPARC launched Big Deal Knowledge Base

[Boyoung Chae]

Thought many of you would be interested in this news. SPARC has recently launched Big Deal Knowledge Base<https://sparcopen.org/our-work/big-deal-knowledge-base/>. It contains thousands of pricing details from library Big Deals that can be downloaded and searched across a number of dimensions -- including publisher, Carnegie classification, and FTE counts. It also contains unredacted license agreements, thoughts on pushing back against confidentiality clauses and non-disclosure agreements, guidance on filing Freedom of Information requests to surface more licensing terms, and insights into how libraries have successfully navigated the Big Deal cancellation process.
