Scandalous, yes. I confess to rechecking the recent circular upon reading
this message and I'm unimpressed. We only have 3 BMJ subs at the main
campus, but to continue to have online access + print will cost us almost
double as we are classified as a "large" institution (another controversial
issue).
I'm intrigued by the sentence "institutions who choose to take both print
and online formats of a journal (at the same time) will make a substantial
saving" How do they work that one out?
Colin.
