Quandt, Richard E.

Library Trends, v51 n3 p349-75 Win 2003

Reviews the so-called "library crisis" and literature on the determinants of journal prices. Discusses the impact of the recent merger activity among journal publishers and notes the possibility that electronic publications may slow down the increase in journal prices. Discusses the question of why substantial improvements in computer technology may not have been translated into productivity increases at a faster rate. Deals with pricing and related issues.
