The following table shows prices paid over the past several years and the number of uses recorded. In some cases, online use is available. In those cases, the number of PDF files accessed is listed. More data on pricing and journal uses is available. If you would like to receive a copy of this Excel spreadsheet, please contact Kerry Kresse.
The following titles will be cancelled effective 2003. The list was decided upon at the Department meeting on Friday, September 6. Please contact Kerry Kresse with any questions or comments. Thanks.
