LSU announces it will cancel Elsevier subscription package agreement at end of this year

The university administration, LSU Libraries, and the Faculty Senate have been grappling with the high cost of Elsevier’s journals, as have many other universities nationwide...Going forward, the Libraries will subscribe to Elsevier journals on a title-by-title basis, retaining the most highly used journals by the LSU community. The [Faculty Senate] resolution further called for the creation of expedited document delivery to provide fast, unmediated access to articles in journals not on subscription.
