CRKN Directs Open Letter to Chronicle of Higher Education to 
Address Misinformation

July 12, 2010, Ottawa, ON - The Chronicle of Higher Education 
carried an article -- 
http://chronicle.com/article/Canadian-University-Hopes-t/66095/ 
-- on July 4, 2010 regarding the University of Prince Edward 
Island Library having discontinued its subscription to the 
Thomson Reuters Web of Science product.  The article contained 
serious inaccuracies and was silent on other important details, 
with the result that damaging allegations regarding Thomson 
Reuters were reported.

As the subscription in question was a national license held by 
the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) on behalf of its 
member universities, CRKN has released an Open Letter to the 
Chronicle of Higher Education to clarify the situation and to 
call upon the Chronicle to address the misinformation circulated 
through its article. Read the Open Letter:
