Hi all,

How are you dealing with the cessation of the compendia/reference
volumes to
the Trends journals without a subsequent discount in the subscription
price?
Without the reference volume (which we retain), we will need to either
bind
the paper issues or get it on microfiche (if that is possible).  Not
only
are we losing something and paying the same price as before, we are
forced
to pay more to retain it in an acceptable archival format.

How many of you out there have expressed your feelings to Elsevier about
this and how can I do it most effectively?  Also, are there any
libraries
out there considering canceling any of these titles because of this
issue?
