RE: RSNA 2011 Subscription Prices Press Release

["Klein, Robin" <rklein@hshsl.umaryland.edu>]

I wish that as RSNA had announced this information that they also 
announced are also withdrawing access to their backfiles in order 
to create an archive for sale for 1923-1998 content.  I confirmed 
with my subscription agent that this was not announced in advance 
- she got the word from asking someone at RSNA on our behalf. 
'Complimentary' access to the backfile of content was suddenly 
withdrawn but I was only made aware when a user alerted us that 
Radiology content they could previously get to was no longer 
available.

We've seen the 'librarian-friendly' librarian guide site that 
RSNA just put up, telling you just about everything except that 
previously freely available content is no longer free.  No 
warning.    I would say that negates any message I'm supposed to 
that they are librarian-friendly.  They could have at least 
waited until the end of the calendar year.

Subject: RSNA 2011 Subscription Prices Press Release

__For Immediate Release

RSNA to institute slight increase in 2011 subscription prices for
/Radiology/ and /RadioGraphics/.*

* *

*(OAK BROOK, Ill.) May 12, 2010 --*Subscription prices for 2011
will be slightly increased for both RSNA journals, /Radiology/
and /RadioGraphics/. Last year's prices were kept flat in an
effort to aid librarian's decreasing budgets.

The RSNA business model is based on the online journal and
standard rates reflect online access only. Print editions of the
journals are offered as an optional add-on.

Licenses can be obtained for corporate and multi-site
organizations such as hospitals, academic institutions, and/or
corporate entities. License pricing is customized.

/Radiology /online features an easy to navigate homepage as well
as podcasts and discussion boards for more peer-to-peer
interaction and understanding. /Radiology/'s 5.996 impact factor
is the highest of any diagnostic radiology journal. It is also
the number 1 cited journal in the field, with nearly double the
number of citations of the closest competitors.

/RadioGraphics /is the only journal devoted to publishing the
best in peer-reviewed educational materials from the RSNA annual
meeting---the world's largest medical meeting and the premier
scientific and educational meeting in radiology. With its high
quality images, /RadioGraphics/ is read by two out of three
radiologists and is used as a source for earning continuing
medical education credits toward maintaining professional
certification.

For more information on RSNA's publications, /Radiology/ and
/RadioGraphics/, please visit our website at
rsna.org/publications.
