Academic libraries traditionally provide access to the life science journal literature for their respective institutions by purchasing annual subscriptions to journals. However, with skyrocketing subscription prices and decreased or flattened library budgets, fewer journals are being purchased. This trend results in diminished access to the literature for members of that institution. Open access and self-archiving are possible solutions to this crisis.
传统上，高校图书馆通过购买期刊的年度订阅服务，为各自的机构提供生命科学期刊文献的获取渠道。然而，随着订阅价格的飞涨以及图书馆预算的减少或持平，购买的期刊数量越来越少。这种趋势导致该机构的成员获取文献的机会减少。开放获取和自我存档可能是解决这一危机的办法。
