Difficult decisions ahead - a note from the Library Manager

We are all aware of budget constraints but journals continue to go up in price; many by much more than the current rate of inflation.

I am likely to have to make some difficult decisions over journals for 2009. I know that I will have to cut at least one journal from Elsevier as we have been quoted an exceptionally large increase unless I can renegotiate the price quoted. I will endeavour to contact those who might be affected.
