[LIS-Forum] On the value for money of commercial journals

[Subbiah Arunachalam]

Friends:

I wonder if you had seen this article in *The Guardian*, UK, which appeared
in mid-June. It is very relevant to all university and research librarians.
As Cambridge mathematician Timothy Gowers has warned, we should not allow
commercial publishers to take us for a ride.

Please read:

You may also read the original article (that led to the *Guardian* piece) in*
PNASc*.

Best wishes.

Arun
