Our subscription is for print & online.  After reading Ellen's email I checked our order record to see if payment for 2009 had been made.  It is TRIPLE the price from 2008, and we weren't notified of the price increase from our vendor.  Chances are the cancellation ax will hit it next year.

Subject: [SERIALST] JOURNAL PRICE INCREASED: OVID

Has anyone noticed the price increase of Diseases of the Colon and
Rectum with the change from Springer to Ovid?  Our price for online only
will be nearly NINE times the price in 2009 that it was in 2008.  When I
inquired with a representative of the American Society of Colon and
Rectal Surgeons, as to the pricing was flabbergasted, and promised to
look into it.
