Re: Wiley-Blackwell Subject Librarian Survey

[David Prosser <david.prosser@rluk.ac.uk>]

I'm not a subject librarian and so perhaps I have this completely 
wrong.  But it strikes me that the one single thing that Wiley 
could do to support subject librarians is reduce prices.  As 
prices continue to rise and budgets fall subject librarians will 
be faced with the difficult decision of what titles and big deals 
to cancel.  Pricing restraint, and real price cuts, will mean 
fewer cancellations and more content for researchers and 
students.

Wishful thinking, perhaps?
