The Harvard library is asking for a 2% above this year's budget, in order to counteract $2.3 million in cuts made the year before. Among the priorities for new money are journal and database licenses. For more detail, see the article in today's Harvard Crimison. (PS: If Harvard is having trouble, then every university is having trouble. We need a systemic solution that scales with growing knowledge.)

on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
