Hi all, A colleague in New Zealand, Dr Mark C Wilson, has used Official Information requests and appeals over the past 3.5 years to obtain "fairly complete information on NZ university expenditure on journals by Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Taylor & Francis 2013-2016”. The slightly processed data is here: https://figshare.com/ articles/Spreadsheet_of_journal_subscription_costs/5656069/1 and the raw replies here: *https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.5656054* <https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.5656054> The numbers are eye opening. Elsevier 2016 expenditure: - Auckland University (33,000 students and 2200 staff) $1.55 million (~£780,000) - Otago University (19,000 students and 1600 staff) $1.59 million (~£790,000) Danny Dr Danny Kingsley Deputy Director - Scholarly Communication & Research Services Cambridge University Library
