I do have to say that I just got
off the phone with Corey Eberhart, the Global Sales Manager with ECS, and they
are willing to work with us on price, since we are a non-profit research
library.
Now, if someone at SAE would
just work with us, that would be great!

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?
