Accomodating inflationary increases for journals
From:
"Lee, Carla (cl9eb)" <cl9eb_at_eservices.virginia.edu>

Hi all,

We are looking at a new budget model here at the University of Virginia 
and I have a couple of questions for the group as we rework how we 
request collections funding;

1) Do you have an agreement with your administration that you will 
"automatically" receive an increase to cover your journal inflation?  Or 
are you negotiating on a year-to-year basis?

2)If you do have a standing agreement, how are you calculating that 
inflationary increase?

Please **respond to me off list** and I will summarize the responses, if 
there is interest.

Thanks,

    Carla
