https://doi.org/10.29173/istl1509Abstract
The author comments on the conflict of interest with the requirement by the American Chemical Society (ACS) for college and university libraries to subscribe to certain journals for the granting of undergraduate chemistry program approval. The author emphasizes the impact of this requirement on the finances of academic libraries. The author explains why ACS should not be allowed to require access to Chemical Abstracts as a condition of program approval.
