Librarians Protest Science’s Departure From JSTOR, Fearing a Trend

From the Chronicle of Higher Ed:

“When the American Association for the Advancement of Science announced in late July that it would pull its flagship journal, Science, from JSTOR, the popular, nonprofit digital archive of scholarly publications, the association cast its decision as a natural evolution.”

“Librarians are also examining their options in the wake of the decision, which will take effect at the end of the year. From that time, no further back issues of Science will be stored on JSTOR, although JSTOR subscribers will continue to have access to already-archived holdings. Many librarians see the move as a portent of profound new pressures on their budgets and their facilities.”
