scitech library question

:: ACS President Charles P Casey is featured in the 5 Jan 2026 issue of Chemical & Engineering News. His column, Challenges for Chemists, Chemistry, and ACS, addresses a number of issues, including rising costs of journals, and the open access movement:

I think that the solution to soaring library costs does not lie with open-access publishing but rather with electronic journals from scientific societies that are made available at reasonable costs. The solution will also require scientists to exert pressure on commercial publishers. The time has come for chemists who are editors or editorial board members of commercial journals to use their considerable influence to strongly urge publishers to greatly reduce their prices. I believe it is also time for chemists to consider whether they will continue to support exorbitantly priced commercial journals by serving as editors, editorial board members, authors, and referees!
