I comment as a professional academic librarian. I was the cochair of
princeton's collection development committee on electronic resources
from the day it started.
The typical budget today for e-resources for a major university is on
the order of three to six million dollars a year, mainly for science
journals and databases. The most expensive subscriptions to the works
of a single publisher can be over one million dollars, and there are
individual databases in the fifty to one hundred-thousand dollar
range. A typical budget for a good undergraduate college might be one
million; it will not have the most expensive journals.

access budgets like, for example?
