ACS journal pricing has been an issue for a number of libraries. You might want to check out this blog post at Confessions of a Science Librarian which has a collection of links to posts about ACS.

Hello everyone,

Last week, we were notified of a significant increase (almost 40%) in our renewal cost for our American Chemical Society Journals. We were told that our 2013 usage was higher than previous years, which bumped us into a higher price tier. Needless to say, we were very unpleasantly surprised.

Have other libraries experienced a similar and recent jump in ACS journals pricing? What are you doing about it?

Thank you,
Alana
