Even with small budget increases, Murphy Library is no longer able to support traditional print access to scholarly communication through journal subscriptions alone
We are NOT alone – even Harvard and Cornell are canceling periodicals
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 (self-archiving)? • Are archives available to the public for free
after a short time period (open-access journals/archives) ?
Publishers to scrutinize: Commercial publishers such as Elsevier, Wiley, Kluwer
