To save money, the University’s (U. of Michigan) libraries are canceling some of their journal subscriptions because of budget cuts and the increasing costs of the subscriptions.
Many of the cuts are to print subscriptions only, while the University continues to subscribe to the journals online.
University Librarian Paul Courant said that about 2,500 were canceled this fiscal year. In many cases, Courant said, the University starts by canceling duplicate subscriptions, leaving one copy of the journal in at least one library, as opposed to in multiple libraries. The University’s other prominent case is when subscriptions were cancelled to journals with lower demand.

Might be helpful if, in the paragraph you LISNews-ers provide, you tell us which “University” you’re talking about. It’s weird to just keep referring to it as “the University.”
