<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you, Jackie, for starting this discussion. I’m not happy about annual database price inflation either, but it’s a problem with most vendors across the board for us. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We’re longtime subscribers to the ACS journals and bought the archive in the early 2000s. We’re also an undergraduate college with an FTE under 2,500, but our Chemistry department is very active with a lot of
students. For CY 2017, our cost per use was just under $18, and we’re on track to set an all-time high for downloads in 2018. We looked at the token program, but it didn’t make financial sense for us.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We cancelled our RSC Gold subscription after they wanted to increase the price by > 12% in one year. Usage was a fraction of what we see with ACS, so it was no hardship. Our faculty agreed with the decision.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:#212121">I have suggested to American Chemical Society adding a pay-per-view option instead of their subscription packages. I’m told they don’t offer that option. I’m just wondering, how many schools out there would be interested in a Pay-per-view
option of ACS titles? We are a very small school, and the prices for ACS are not sustainable and are very hard to justify outside accreditation requirements. I’m feeling very frustrated actually. Am I the only one??</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
