Greetings all, The first link is from Cory Doctorow's blog, which reports, "Germany's DEAL project, which includes over 60 major research institutions, has announced that all of its members are canceling their subscriptions to all of Elsevier's academic and scientific journals, effective January 1, 2017. The boycott is in response to Elsevier's refusal to adopt 'transparent business models' to 'make publications more openly accessible.' http://boingboing.net/2016/12/15/germany-wide-consortium-of-res.html https://www.sub.uni-goettingen.de/en/news/details/voraussichtlich-keine-volltexte-von-zeitschriften-des-elsevier-verlags-ab-dem-112017/ With best regards, Debra Swank, RN BSN IBCLC Ocala, Florida USA More Than Reflexes Education http://www.MoreThanReflexes.org *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
