Which
may well be why the increase is 115% instead of 100%. This way 1/2 the
subscribers can cancel and the Society is still money ahead.
Yes,
it’s the Friday of a long week and I am feeling wickedly suspicious and
evil-minded.

Hello all,
Today I received the AIP Journals 2010 price bulletin. In it
I discovered that the Electrochemical Society has decided that corporate
libraries need to pay more than twice as much as academic libraries. In the
past, there was only one price. So, if we were to continue our subscription to
the ECS Digital Library, which we are not, we would face a 115% price increase.
We may have to subscribe to the Journal of the ECS, which still be a 75% price
increase over what we paid for the whole library last year.
Does the ECS not understand that everyone in the library
community is having to cut back in this economy, and a 115% price increase just
isn’t going to cut it?
