AAA (American Anthropological Assn) news article



Lengthy feature in InsideHigherEd today:

http://insidehighered.com/news/2007/08/22/anthro

Topic is the recent move by the AAA (anthropology) to Wiley Blackwell from University of California Press of its collection of journals, including Anthrosource.

Comments are piling up on the InsideHigherEd site, including some from liblicense members (Thatcher, Harnad).

The thrust of the article is that AAA is not acting in the best interests of scholarship in failing to pursue an Open Access model, but multiple (if weaker) viewpoints are presented.
