It seems like the quotes and your argument is based on the average price per journal title but that doesn’t take into consideration that most of these titles are products that we probably would never have wanted in the first place. In order to get the ejournals we want, we are still having to pay increases in excess of inflation. Adding mediocre content to quality content doesn’t make the crisis go away. If one person paid for the “Mona Lisa” for $100M and then sold it along with one painting their child made in grade 3 for $105M, that doesn’t mean that the “Mona Lisa” has dropped in price by almost half. But I’m probably missing something.
