The
History and Development of Academic Library Consortia in the United States:
An Overview. By: Bostick, Sharon L.; Dugan, Robert E.; Journal of Academic
Librarianship, Mar2001, Vol. 27 Issue 2, p128, 3p
"In the United States today, consortia for libraries is a way
of life....To obtain a clearer picture of academic library consortia, in

Elsevier journals
1999 UT-Austin subscribed to 596 Elsevier journals at a cost of $925,203 In 2001 UT-Austin has access to 1300 Elsevier journals at a cost of $1,089,225 through the UT System consortia At normal inflation rates the 596 1999 journals would have cost between $1,119,495 - $1,202,393 by 2001. The UT System consortia arrangment has saved us a signficant amount of money, and increased the number of journals our faculty and students have access to. The new journals receive considerable use. See overall use stats here and specific journal title use numbers here. Without the consortia arrangment , we'd be paying more and have access to less. |
