Dear Librarians -- did you know that CCQ now costs $968 a year ($121
per issue)
If the librarian-authors were being paid a princely sum for their
submissions, perhaps we'd to subscribe to support our colleagues, but
I doubt that's the case. Rather, parent company Informa extracts
free labor (small stipends notwithstanding) from writers and editors,
and then turns around and gouges libraries with high subscription costs.
Why would we want to contribute to such a journal? Wouldn't we serve
our community better by publishing in open access journals or in
journals where the business model is not so predatory?
