DESCRIPTION:*Explore issues surrounding journal subscriptions by the Unive
 rsity:*\n\n* What are the principles that should be used to decide whether
  to start or to renew journal subscriptions? \n* How should we balance pay
 ment for subscriptions\, for open access papers and for hybrid journals?\n
 * How should learned societies distinguish themselves from commercial publ
 ishers?\n\nThe University's current subscription deal with the RSC (Royal 
 Society of Chemistry) expired at the end of 2016. Various deals are on off
 er from the publisher through JISC and a decision needs to be made on whic
 h deal (if any) to agree. \n\n*The discussions at the Town Hall meeting wi
 ll inform the Physical Sciences Consultative Committee\, which will make a
  recommendation on the renewal.*\n\nThis is a discussion of relevance for 
 all members of the University\, so we hope that you will join us. The disc
 ussion will be recorded so if you are unable to attend you will be able to
