Elsevier journal prices are ridiculously high and way above industry norms. UC Berkeley has curtailed a lot of their business with Elsevier and just went through a major renegotiation with them in December.

Journal publishing is a multibillion $$ business. Universities provide intellectual content, peer reviews, and editorship for free and then have to pay big $$ to get back what they have collectively given. Journal prices are rising at 2-3 times the CPI. All of this is driving much-needed change toward more open literature access and more cost-effective uses of library resources that will be the inevitable result.
