Here are the latest data on the journal packages under consideration. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

moving forward. Our current package costs $386,000. We cannot sustain this total subscription cost. We have two options. First, we can cancel the entire package and only subscribe to a short list of key journals at list price. This is the same approach we
used recently to cut our Elsevier spending in half. Alternatively, we can subscribe to a few smaller, subject-specific journal packages.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

subject-specific packages that T&F offers. <b>To help us make the best decisions for both content quality and overall cost, we ask that you identify which specific journals are most important to your research and teaching.
</b>While they are all valuable in some way, which titles require immediate and regular access for your current projects, for course readings, and other ongoing needs? Keep in mind that canceling a subscription does not mean losing all access; we can still
acquire individual articles as needed via InterLibrary Loan and other document delivery services.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
