Harvard’s library can’t afford journal subscriptions | Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week

"Harvard University is probably the single richest school on the planet. Its endowment in 2011 was the biggest in the USA, at $31.728 billion — over 60% more than the next highest (Yale, at $19.374 billion). It’s also in with a good shout as the best university in the world — the current Times Higher Education ranking has it equal second, behind only Cal Tech, level with Stanford, and ahead of Oxford, Princeton and Cambridge. If any university should be able to pay all its journal subscriptions without problems, it’s Harvard."
