Our cost for the online has also increased, but not as dramatically, "only" at 42%.  Since we canceled most of our print subscriptions and moved to electronic,  we are paying for online.

No, we are not paying. Wait until they get the agency renewals. I think they will find out then that only medical schools are going to pay for online.

Good morning,

 

As everyone probably knows, JAMA took away their reasonably priced print + online option. We now have to choose one or the other, and the cost for the online has increased, for us, about 600%. We called JAMA directly, mostly just to let them know that we’re unhappy with this, and they basically told us that other libraries “in our situation” are paying the increase.

 

I’m just wondering if other libraries really are paying, and if so, are any of you making any fuss about it?  

 

Thanks!
Laura
