.......and some of us started planning our contingencies way back in April but there is not much you can do against increases of over 30% when combining actual increases and currency fluctuations. I have one product which was £13295 for 2016 and looks likely to be £17461 for 2017, depending on rates when the bill is paid. it can't be cancelled as it is year 2 of a 3 year deal. This is a 31.3% increase How does one find the money? Cuts elsewhere is the only option. To answer the original question Do members of this list, especially the librarians, feel that in our current economic climate 7% increases are reasonable? 7% is way above general inflation and not reasonable at all but compared with the 10 titles I was invoiced for today from a UK NOT an overseas publisher, which all showed increases of over 26%, 7% would make me very happy, well not happy but I could cope with that.
