Hi Connie,
    Our librarians agree with you. I have called and e-mailed Susan
Cortes, whose name is on the letter from S&P, to ask if we can get our
package price reduced but she has not responded. This situation has led
us to review all of our S&P titles to determine whether we really need
them anymore, but no decisions have been made. I'd love to hear how
others are dealing with this.
