> Dear All,
>
> The academic and medical publisher Reed Elsevier (including LexisNexis,
> ScienceDirect, and many social science and humanities journals) also
> organizes international arms fairs. A petition has been circulating
> calling on Reed Elsevier to stop organising arms fairs. At the time of
> writing, the petition has over 350 signatures from academics based at
> institutions all over the world (including from the Nobel-prize and
> Fields-Medal winning fraternity), and it will be kept open for the
> forseeable future before being submitted to Reed Elsevier. I hope that
> the petition will get many more signatures, so please do pass it on if
> you have not already. In the meantime, however, I would like to invite
> you to sign an open letter to Reed Elsevier, drafted by the UK-based
> Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), the text of which is below. The
> letter will be sent to the Times Higher Education Supplement, a leading
> UK academics' weekly, with potential for other national and international
> coverage. This will be the next in what has now become a series of open
> letters from professional users of Reed products. Previous letters have
> been signed by medics (in The Lancet) and high-profile writers (in the
> Times Literary Supplement), and both have received considerable, and
> worldwide, media attention. If you would like to be listed as a signatory
> to the letter (along with your full academic title, name, discipline and
> institution, or former institution if retired), please let me know these
> details by FRIDAY, 27 OCTOBER. Your support is extremely valuable to the
> growing campaign and vital if we are to persuade Reed Elsevier to get out
> of the arms trade. Please pass this letter on to other academics who
> might consider signing the letter. The full text can be found at
> http://idiolect.org.uk/elsevier/docs/academics_letter.pdf
> as well as being included below
