>It would be very helpful if those of you who have access to the data

>(1) How many refereed journals does your library subscribe to? (By

94 periodicals in our library
>(2) What proportion is that, of the total number of refereed journals

Suppressed periodicals (interesting, but not enought money to continue to=20
purchase them) since 1991: 59 periodicals + 1 that we have never been able=
=20
to purchase =3D Brain Research + about 20 others essentially in=
neurosciences=20
and behaviour (often asked in photocopies) =3D about 80 periodicals missing
Ideal number 174 periodicals.
Proportion 55%

We don't practice pay-per-view but we buy photocopies. We can buy without=20
restriction every copy that the researchers ask.
I am not sure that I have well understood your question.
