Statements vom Verband wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken in Nordamerika (ARL)
Expenditures for electronic serials have increased by 75% in the last two years alone, and by almost 900% since they were first reported, in 1994-95.
In every year since 1992-93, average expenditures on electronic resources have increased at least twice as fast, and in some cases up to six times faster, than average library materials expenditure“
