RE: Marketplace Story: Publicly funded research for a price

["Cynthia Porter" <CPorter@atsu.edu>]

I work in a medical library.

We pay $625 for our current subscription.  We receive print and 
our online access is restricted to one IP address on one physical 
computer.  To provide access for our distance students, we would 
have to pay $3000.  They got the prices right for my institution.

Furthermore, they have the facts wrong about cost of a JAMA
subscription. It is still rather affordable for a weekly
publication at $125 for online and $165 for print+online for a
year, not "thousands of dollars."  Even an institutional
subscription for print+online is only $590.
