I would like to add the voice of the University of Hertfordshire to the protest about the price rise of the RCN Journals subscription and the introduction of the high cost archive to access back issues. Our subscription is currently on hold and we will not be purchasing the archive.
In my view, it is very short-sighted in the current financial climate to try to impose these costs on already stretched library budgets. Ultimately, it is nursing students who are disadvantaged and this is not good for the profession.
