health care prices during the same
period.
Cancellation Philosophy

recorded use over several years.

Muse.

greater than $35.
• The title no longer supports the
curriculum.

Bottom Line
• Even with small budget increases,
Murphy Library (as well as most
academic libraries) is no longer able to
support traditional print access to
scholarly communication through
journal subscriptions alone
Where Do We Go From Here?
• Before publishing in a journal, ask
some questions:
– Can I post a copy of my article on my web
site or my institution’s web site?
– Are archives available to the public for free
after a short time period (for publicly
funded research) ?
