About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Access Copyright

I posted earlier in the summer on the U of A's apparent move towards settling with Access Copyright, at a very steep premium.  In the latest CAUT Bulletin, there is a short piece about the increasing isolation of Access Copyright in the face of continuing challenges by universities to their extortionate demands.  This caused me to search the U of A website to determine whether they have followed through with their plans to jump aboard the badly listing HMS Access Copyright, and found that there is nothing newer than the June Folio article that provoked my original post.  It's the usual information blackout that we have come to expect from this administration.  Does anyone know whether we are still committed to this highly questionable course of action?

    Thanks! Don't know why that didn't come up in the search of the U of A site. Anyway, not a good decision, methinks.
