Hello
So it seems. The days of print + free online are well and truly over. Now you can only add a print order to some Society titles if you have an (expensive) online subscription.
For this title there is a massive hike for "tier 2" institutions, ie: 6-200 users. Our usage statistics do not support the uplift in the fee, so we may well have to cancel the sub.
We're also perturbed at another society's definition (re-definition?) that a single site license => access within library building only, meaning we've had to upgrade the license again with a vast increase in cost. This title is also at risk of being cut.
These sorts of machinations certainly help making our renewal decisions easier. Document delivery on demand, here we come.
Kind regards,
Dom Benson

Hello
American Journal Of Respiratory And Critical Care Medicine
Can I check if anyone has had huge price increase? We paid £452 last
year for print only but quoted over 1500 this year. Seems cannot have
print only now. Ebsco are checking this price is right but if it is –
increase is over 300% - in fact nearer 400%!
