Library Cuts Threaten Research
Library Cuts Threaten Research
As journal cancellations sweep across the US, scientists worry about how
they will affect research

"The lifeblood of a university is its library, and cutting library
resources is like cutting off oxygen to the brain," said Robert
Buckingham, a long-time epidemiologist at NMSU and now dean of the School
of Public Health at the University of Saskatchewan. "Without this
lifeblood, the university will falter and fail."
The economic downturn is hitting libraries and hitting them hard. A 2009
global survey of 835 libraries in 61 countries found that nearly one-third
of academic libraries saw their budgets reduced by 10 percent or more that
year. And journal subscriptions are taking the brunt of that loss: The
University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) cancelled 118 print and
115 online subscriptions for 2010, as well as several databases (including
Faculty of 1000 Medicine, publisher of The Scientist). Last spring, the
University of Washington announced cuts of 1,600 print and electronic
journals, databases, and microforms. The University of Virginia library
sliced 1,169 journals, the University of Arizona downsized by 650 print
and electronic titles, and Georgia State University cut 441 and is now
considering the fate of another 1,092. The list goes on and on.
NMSU's journal cuts, which also included the axing of over 1,300 Springer
journals due to discontinued consortium bundles, resulted from the loss of
several external revenue streams.

Other universities have been more responsive. In Louisiana, librarians
panicked this summer when the state Board of Regents announced the end of
funding for LOUIS, the statewide academic library network that provides
journal and database access to some 30 institutions, including Louisiana
State University (LSU). On a Facebook page dedicated to saving LOUIS,
students and faculty alike expressed their outrage at the loss of access.
