P.S.: And, please, remind your faculty that many responsible 
scientists care to put their work into open access repositories 
(institutional repositories, arxiv etc.) so that access is 
possible despite growing difficulties to sustain subscriptions at 
many sites and despite the rigid and restrictive access policies 
of *some* publishers for licensed material.

This can only work if faculty does the same for their own work 
published in scholarly journals (the "green road" to OA, allowed 
by a large proportion of publishers today) or if they publish in 
the fast growing number of OA journals available (cf. the 
Directory of OA journals). The importance of OA will be growing 
in times of a global recession, cf. Peter Suber in his 
predictions for 2009,
