RE: Librarians, Publishing Behavior, & Open Access

["William Walsh" <libwdw@langate.gsu.edu>]

Tony, Thank you for your comments; I appreciate your willingness to open a
dialog on this issue.

Do you feel current annual price increases--even those at the bottom end
of the industry range--are sustainable?

In the absence of additional annual funding beyond the amount needed to
cover these increases, how will institutions support new products?

Last year, a spokesperson for your corporation was quoted saying, "There
is no serials crisis...there is...a library funding crisis."  Do you
agree?

Bill
