        Reply to:   Personal/Institutional prices

We have been asked to come up with some data about the price differences
between personal subscriptions and the institutional prices we pay as a
library.  Does anyone know of any work done in this area?  Specifically, we
would be interested in what is the average (or mean) price difference, what
percent of journals have differential pricing, what is the largest price
difference, and what is the impact of these price differences on a college
library's budget.

Orion, I don't know of any specific work done on it but I'm sure there has
been some.  I'd recommend checking in LISA and Library Literature for
articles/reports on the subject.

Orion, I don't have information about too much, since I'm in the
cataloging end of serials rather than acquisitions, but Annual Reviews
Inc. just instituted institutional prices for 1997, and the price is
over 100% higher than the individual price... the cost of living in
California has gone up, especially in Silicon Valley, but not by that
much!
