English abstract

In a strongly worded statement, librarians around the world have called for an end to the "excessive pricing" of electronic publications and for a halt in "attacks" on libraries' rights to redistribute documents. More than 40 library consortia signed the statement, in which the librarians also insisted on the need for permanent access to electronically archived information. A report in *The Chronicle of Higher Education says this. Is it something really new or indigestible to us, in India? *http://chronicle.com/data/articles.dir/art-44.dir/issue-31.dir/31a03301.htm
