- Communicating Collections Cancellations to Campus: A Qualitative Study McLean, Jaclyn Dawson, Diane Sorensen, Charlene Communication Strategies Library Services Periodicals Academic Libraries Foreign Countries Librarians Librarian Attitudes Interprofessional Relationship Retrenchment Budgeting Academic libraries around the world are cancelling big deal journal subscriptions at an increasing rate. This is primarily due to budgetary challenges, the unsustainable hyperinflationary pricing of these packages, and a need to move toward new open access models. It is a complex situation with many vested interests and stakeholders. Some libraries have been the target of angry backlash from faculty after such cancellations. The purpose of this qualitative study is to discover strategies for communicating to the campus community about collections cancellations so that they will better understand and support the library in making these difficult decisions.
