   Those readers of this list who are also responsible for geography
collections might want to look at an editorial in Geoforum  "Is this
journal worth US$1118?"
 http://www.econ.ucsb.edu/%7Etedb/Journals/geoforum_editorial2.pdf
   Elsevier's reply is at
http://www.econ.ucsb.edu/%7Etedb/Journals/geoforumreply.pdf

  The editor uses the methodology developed by Prof. Bergstrom, who
forwarded these links and his comments to the LibLicence list.
