Persee in danger. Please support it.



Dear all,

For the last eight years or so, a group of dedicated French 
academics have been supporting a French imitation of JSTOR, whose 
advantage over its older and bigger US model is that it is in 
Open Access. (http://www.persee.fr).

A petition is being circulated right now to try stopping the 
University of Lyon-2 from killing this project.

The answer provided by the president of the University is worthy 
of Orwell's Newspeak...

The petition can be signed at 
http://lapetition.be/en-ligne/petition-9491.html . Please sign 
it.

Unhappily, they have not provided an English translation for the 
petition, but the point is obvious, and filling the fields is not 
difficult, even for someone who does not read French.

If anyone meets with difficulties, please contact me.

They deserve the strongest and widest support from all.

Jean-Claude Guedon
