Content-return: allowed Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 19:42:06 -0600 From: "Sloan, Bernie" <bernies@UILLINOIS.EDU> To: PACS-L@LISTSERV.UH.EDU Reply-to: Public-Access Computer Systems Forum <PACS-L@LISTSERV.UH.EDU> Message-id: <E5D27D04B963D211A82600A024DF2EC502BDAF75@oscar.pb.uiuc.edu> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I'd like to call your attention to a very interesting paper by Ken Frazier (The Librarians' Dilemma: Contemplating the Costs of the "Big Deal" ) in the March issue of D-Lib Magazine: http://www.dlib.org/dlib/march01/frazier/03frazier.html The paper discusses the "Big Deal", which Ken Frazier describes as "an online aggregation of journals that publishers offer as a one-price, one size fits all package." Ken Frazier's advice?? "Academic library directors should not sign on to the Big Deal or any comprehensive licensing agreements with commercial publishers." A very provocative piece...... Thanks to Alison Buckholtz of ARL for pointing out this paper on the liblicense-l list!
