[Eril-l] American Economic Association Journals

[Karen Jensen]

We always negotiate on this issue with any vendor until we win, including
AEA. Our rural campus sites have zero students or faculty that are likely
to use these resources, although we always want to give them the option;
they have no subscription budgets. Perhaps negotiate based on the number of
likely users of the journal in question?
