Issues in Scholarly Communication
Detailed analysis on the journal crisis in academic publishing. "For many years, increases in
the prices of library materials in all formats (including more recently electronic) have generally
exceeded-sometimes significantly-increases in library acquisitions budgets. Libraries have worked
hard to minimize the effects of this imbalance, but we are now reaching a point at which many
institutions, including Cornell, are for this reason no longer able to provide access to some
standard materials needed for instruction and research." From the Cornell University Library.
