Interesting item in FirstMonday

["Sloan, Bernie" <bernies@uillinois.edu>]

Sort of along the lines of the Pat Schroeder flap last month on
liblicense-l, here's another item that might provoke some discussion:

Henderson, Albert. "The 'Big Lie' and The Great Newspaper Caper."
FirstMonday, 6(3), March 5, 2001:

http://www.firstmonday.dk/issues/current_issue/henderson/index.html

It begins as a reaction to an earlier Richard Cox article criticizing
Nicholas Baker's views on newspaper preservation, but quickly turns into
something different, criticizing the way academic library and higher
education administrators have handled budgeting for library materials, and
how this has impacted publishers and the scholarly community.

This same issue includes a reaction to the article from Richard Cox:
