Chronicle takes on libraries and e-library companies

[George Porter]

Goldie Blumenstyk's article, "Companies Find Academic Libraries a Key Target
and a Tough Sell" <http://chronicle.com/free/v47/i36/36a03701.htm>, is the
clearest statement I've read thus far on the dodgy relationship between
academic libraries/librarians and the commercial e-library ventures.  Worth
the reading and conveniently priced (read: free).
