UC Libraries Open Letter to Licensed Content Providers

["Ivy Anderson" <Ivy.Anderson@ucop.edu>]

[With apologies for any duplication:]

The University of California Libraries have released an Open 
Letter to Licensed Content Providers concerning the serious 
economic challenges facing institutions of higher education in 
California.

Excerpt:

The University of California Libraries ask all information 
providers with whom we negotiate content licenses to respond to 
the major fiscal challenges affecting higher education in 
California in a spirit of collaboration and mutual 
problem-solving. We expect to work with each of our vendors at 
renewal to develop creative solutions that can preserve the 
greatest amount of content to meet the information needs of the 
University of California's students, faculty, and researchers.
