Tracey,

The 4/15 issue of Library Journal has, for the last many years, published a periodicals price survey.  It’s co-authored by Lee Van Orsdel and Kathleen Born.  The 2009 survey is titled “Reality Bites”.  J

Subject: [SERIALST] U.S. Periodicals Price Index

The latest price index on the ALA pages is dated 2005.  Does anyone know of more a more recent report?  I am also looking for recent articles discussing how libraries are dealing with the current crisis and cuts in the materials budget.

Thanks.
