We pay an extortionate fee every year to a local university for access to their library, for which we get treated like s**t, undergrads have double the borrowing allowance, and we are not allowed any access to their e-resources which includes any digital journals etc - even more worryingly, whole shelves of favourite paper journals keep disappearing as digital versions become available (and no one ever thinks of costing access to such things into projects, often because it's often difficult before digging a site to know what will require researching to write the report....)...wonder what happens to the originals considering they then also totally disappear off the library catalogues too.....nothing like having to work with ever-decreasing resources.....
