Re: Permitted Use Clause

[David Goodman <dgoodman@phoenix.Princeton.EDU>]

Well, the appropriate fee for an academic library is zero. Perhaps instead
of crossing out the clause you could either add after "pay the appropriate
fee"  the insert "($0/per article)"

It's pretty clear that their lawyers do not know what an electronic
journal is.
