David and others -

The institutions that UW-Madison is currently aware of are listed on our
local Nature info website.  Our campus collection development officer is
contacting his colleagues at the other CIC institutions to see what they
have decided to do.  It would be helpful to have the large institutions
weigh in on this issue one way or another.  I'm also interested in knowing
whether faculty at other institutions understand and support a library
decision not to accept the present license and/or pricing model.  This
information would be helpful to all of us.

See our page at:

http://www.library.wisc.edu/journals/ejournals/nature.htm

We left a link to this page in our campus ejournal list and in our catalog
record for Nature.
