The University of British Columbia Library has decided to go with EBSCO for CINAHL and PsycINFO in lieu of Ovid. Dean Giustini said, "This will be a shock to some end-users, but medical search has been destablized by Google Scholar and open access journals. Why should libraries pay big bucks for any tool when cheaper (or free) alternatives are on offer?"

What are your thoughts about expensive databases (not just Ovid) and Google Scholar and open access?
