You are looking here at a 5 to 12 fold increase in the price of your
bibliography over the print. You provide no option for the print to
continue at all. I wonder how many of us can really justify this cost, even
given much improved access and consortial or early subscription discounts?
At $100 a year it was not difficult for even small institutions to justify
a possibly low use title. Now we may find that the more general databases
will adequately fill our needs.
