- Maths’ impact in other fields, such as physical sciences, biomedics, various sectors of engineering, economic sciences and industry –above all aerospace industry-, is moulding structural models for the creation of databases which can play a crucial role in the development of tools for orienteering and analysis. Two are the main databases concerning with maths: MATH e MathSci. This paper stands like a support for the evaluation of the two databases’ organizational system and of the additional services that they offer. The topics of this analysis are the conditions, the ways and, above all, the limits of contracts and subscriptions. I hope this paper could be useful for those who need to have information on the way to get convenient prices, establishing the organizational processes. It is well known to many experts in the acquisition of database that the high prices of databases, mainly created outside Europe, deprives the research of a huge amount of funding sources. Often the licences applied in the American cooperatives, for example in the interuniversity consortia, cannot be simply applied in an effective way on the Italian universities’ current situation. As a consequence, the crucial presupposition nowadays is to the raise the awareness that librarians should become active partners in the review process on the policies concerning database prices.
