Dear All,Thomas
I find this a sad development. So what do we do, buy even fewer monographs? It doesn't speak at all well for CAA and the editors of the Bulletin and Journal that they seem to be so uninformed about the crisis in scholarly publishing and its causes. Little wonder that the scholarly communication system is bordering on self-destruction, and peer review along with it. I cancelled my own library's subscription to Visual Resources long ago because their editors moved to Taylor & Francis, who charge as much for a subscription as we pay for twenty other titles combined. Hopefully, most of us will have the courage to cancel the Bulletin and Journal, painful as this will be, and send a message that we won't be held hostage by market-cornering, price-fixing parasites on the academy.

I just checked with the CAA office, and while they have discontinued the library membership, you can still get a Department/Museum membership for $600, only $30 more than it costs to subscribe through T & F to Art Bulletin and Art Journal. The advantage of the membership is that it includes CAA reviews and CAA News.

Greetings,Our serials department received a letter from the College Art Association stating Routledge/Taylor & Francis will be taking over the publication of Art Bulletin and Art Journal in 2014.We had been purchasing a library membership through CAA to receive the print issues of both Art Journal and Art Bulletin.Collective thoughts about this? Should we be bracing for a cost increase? Here's a link on the CAA page about it: http://www.collegeart.org/news/2013/11/05/caa-journals-to-be-published-by-taylor-francis/Rebecca
