I'd hate to think what they would charge if they were for-profit......

Has anyone else been aghast (or should we be surprised at any pricing

these days) of the recent SLACK, Inc. 2008 model for print and

print+online? Based on fte our print subscription, for example, to AAOHN

is $224 and then the online with print goes to $2,240. The rest of the

titles follow the same giant leap pattern ($250/$2500, etc.). I'm not

real good at % but I think this is astronomical.

And the sad thing is, like so many of these offers for free online with

login, we just set up that mechanism for 2007, only to have that pulled

away. Our health sciences librarian is pretty conscientious about

following these offers and we try to accommodate when possible, but my

basic instinct says not to do it.

Just need company in my misery.
