Macquarie U’s library has cancelled the university’s subscription to the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Australian Financial Review. A message to staff yesterday cites a price hike, “almost tripling our annual subscription cost” and problems in accessing content. According to MU, other universities are doing the same. Perhaps the new owners at Nine Entertainment think university staff will take out their own paid subscriptions.
