i didnt mean it should be free by any sense...but they charge incredibly large fee's for access and subsciption. those publishing companies that essentially have near monopolies by having hundreds of journals they publish really dont act in the faith of the scientific community anymore its just a money hungry corporation. it trickles down to the personal level and the library university with what they can afford to have on hand or electronically.
