Re: Cost of coursepacks: Harvard Crimson article

[Samuel Trosow <strosow@uwo.ca>]

Very true, but even if the author does not self-archive, and if the
university has an electronic subscription to the journal, the course
reading list with links can still be created at no additional direct cost
to the student. Or if the url's are impossibly long just point to the
title in the library catalog, (if the record contains a link to the
electronic resource)  and ask the students to follow the links.
