Greetings colleagues,

Just received a report that beginning in 2008 Art & Antiques will only be 
available for purchase directly from the publisher. They choose to no 
longer work with serial vendors. Not a huge problem. A bit of a pain for 
our acquisitions department.

But it does raise an interesting question.

With competition for the journal dollar at an all time high, and with 
acquisition, processing, and technical services staff dwindling, why 
continue to subscribe to titles that are of limited value and require 
additional effort to obtain? Would my community find their research 
hampered should Art & Antiques no longer on our shelves?

I doubt it.

Comments?

Cheers,

Peter Blank
