Hello,

Librarians engaged in information resource management at the University 
of Arizona Libraries are interested in finding out what colleagues 
elsewhere think about small journals that are increasing their prices in 
these dire economic times. A price increase from $35 to $65, for 
example, isn’t a lot of money but it is a very large percentage increase.

If you are willing to share your thoughts or information about how your 
institution is handling these situations it would be very much 
appreciated. Please send your responses directly to me at 
pintozzic_at_u.library.arizona.edu 
<mailto:pintozzic_at_u.library.arizona.edu>. If there is interest I will 
summarize and share with the list.


Thanks in advance for your help.
