Issues in Scholarly CommunicationIssues 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.
