>Dear Colleagues-- With the current global economic crisis, it is difficult
>to forecast what prices will be and how much the library will need to cover
>costs.  How are you handling the situation in terms of making the case for
>your next budget cycle?  
>
>In the past, we have sometimes relied on data from Swets, Ebsco, YBP,
>Library Journal, and Harrassowitz.  However, some of what they have posted
>is already out-of-date due to rapid changes in currency rates.  (Ebsco
>helpfully provided an update in October to their June report.)  Thank you
>for any ideas and suggestions you share.
>
>Sincerely,
>Lucy
