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.
