Also, libraries can and do exclude journals for cost reasons. My university is starting to do more and more of this. They haven't gotten rid of anything critical to what I do, yet, but there are certainly journals I don't have access to (thank goodness for arxiv).

A major complaint about Elsevier is that they would do ‘big deals’ bundling in lots of journals that libraries didn’t really want along with the journals they did.

But I don’t know how much they still do this.
