From: Winston Tabb <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:25:25 +0000 Dear Jean-Claude: SHARES was created by universities and libraries based on the belief that what is created by the academy should be made available and preserved by the academy, as a signal of our commitment to open dissemination of information. It was developed without awareness of CHORUS, so is not an intentional "counterattack.". It is an affirmation of our commitment to our mission. We do not need CHORUS; we need to SHARE. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jean-Claude Guédon <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:23:34 -0400 I should hope that SHARE is a counter-attack aimed squarely at CHORUS, and a successful one at that, and not some form of ritualized pseudo-competition.
