Thanks, Charlie. Design Issues is one of the titles with a large increase.

Hi Amy,
Yes - I’ve noticed a substantial increase for the handful of MIT Press journals we subscribe to. I contacted them a few months ago and here’s their response: "Production costs, including staffing costs, have been rising significantly over the years and we need to cover those costs. We have not adjusted Design Issues' pricing significantly in the past but are now forced to do so."

Hi!
Recently the prices some of our MIT journal subscriptions have increased substantially. Has anyone else noticed this? Or know why it might be happening?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
