From The Library Director:

In the two previous issues of this newsletter, I mentioned that the Library would need to cut a significant number of journal subscriptions to balance the budget. Elsewhere in this issue, Mary Hawks has provided the results of the journal cancellation project for the 2001 subscription year. I'd like to thank the members of the Library Advisory Committee and many other UAMS faculty who provided valuable input during the process, and to thank Mary Hawks and the other staff who worked on the cancellation project.

Publishers of scientific and medical journals
have been raising subscription prices
an average of 10-15% per year while maintaining
a profit margin estimated to run as high as 40%.
