Anand, thanks for sharing.
It's a bold and welcome decision from MIT. I only hope other major
institutions follow suit.
I guess Elsevier is always one of the last publishers to settle ESS rates
with Inflibnet. Hard to imagine their rigid stand while most others have
realized the realities of ground.
Hope better sense prevails soon..?

Dear All,
Thought of bringing this news item to your notice.
MIT ends negotiations with Elsevier-

It’s interesting to see who blinks first!. If MIT wins, that will be a big win for scholarly publishing world - particularly for authors and libraries. This outcome may change negotiation scenario of all consortia and institutions across the world.
Let’s wish MIT to win this....if they win, The institutional repositories will be stronger and more impactful.
Best Regards,
Anand.
