It seems that since Barschall, librarians and then some faculty members pioneered the identification and analysis of 'serials crisis'. Since there are well paid members of the administrative staff whose job is 'cost management' and 'cost control', I find it interesting that this type of cost is controlled only through budget limitations rather than challenges to publisher market power. http://blogs.lib.berkeley.edu/scholcomm.php/2008/01/21/berkeley_research_impact_initiative#c49004
