In the September 20 Chronicle of Higher Education, Andrea Foster reports on the growing library opposition to ejournal bundling deals like Elsevier's ScienceDirect. Starting next Thursday (September 19), the Chronicle will host an online discussion of the issues moderated by Kenneth Frazier, library director at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. (PS: Andrea Foster's article is free for all, but the forum is limited to Chronicle subscribers.)
