Re: Nondisclosure - a pet peeve
From: Peter Graham, Rutgers University Libraries
For state institutions in the US, non-disclosure is a non-issue; public
affairs are public. It may take someone trouble to find it out, but if
asked for it must be disclosed. I recall pointing this out to vendors
that it is non-enforceable, to have them wave off the matter as therefore
of little importance.
In fact I don't feel sure of my ground on this, except that there is an
out for some state institutions, so better experience reported here would
be welcome. I agree with those who want to see contracts open. Under
what circumstances would a *purchaser* not want contract terms revealed?
