We received an email from our university library stating that they plan to drop subscriptions to the following journals. These are some of the best journals published by independent sources. Of course, the library does not touch any journals from big private publishers like Elsevier or Springer, because those are all bundled. I'm wondering if other people have faced similar situation, and what we can do as a community to address this.

FYI this is one of the wealthiest universities in the world with a yearly revenue of two Billion Dollars!

University library dropping independent journal subscriptions. What to do?
