Re: No Free Lunches: We Should Resist the Push to Rush Research Online
It seems clear to me that at research institutions, delayed publication of
significant journals will not be acceptable, even if only for a month or
two. Such institutions will continue to subscribe to avoid the delay.
Journals of less significance to a particular institution have been in
most cases cancelled long ago.
Of course, as prices rise, the line between essential and non-essential
will change.
Non-research colleges are increasingly using the aggregator packages
from Ebsco, Proquest, etc., in spite of their disadvantages, because of
the much lower price.
