From: Houeida Charara <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2013 06:48:36 +0000 Dear Ann et al: In the same spirit: I had lately a reply from a publisher stating : "I spoke with our counsel and unfortunately we are unable to remove the provisions you are requesting. We feel that these items are quite fair and I would note that the xxxxxx xxxxxxx among others have all agreed to these provisions to enable use of the xxxxxx service by their researchers". Libraries are making progress in negotiating licenses, but they still have a long road ahead.
