RE: FW: Sage Journals in EBSCOhost Databases

[Kent Mulliner <mulliner@ohio.edu>]

         While I can understand David's and Bernie's concerns, coming from
an institution that does qualify as having started in 2002, it is equally
strange to tell us that we could provide you with this information that
you expected when you entered the agreement, but Ebsco has decided that it
too much trouble.  Nothing beats shared impoverishment, when it is purely
at the discretion of the aggregator.
