RE: Tenure and journals (RE: Elsevier profit)

Impact factors are a concern with big deals.  Prima facie if journals are
easily accessible to researchers they are likely to be cited more often
(cf Jean-Claude Gu�don's 'In Oldenburg's long shadow').  A virtuous circle
for publishers, a vicious one for libraries?

With best wishes
