This is
nothing to do with copyright but is of concern to many people and needs wide
dissemination. I am forwarding this to various lists on behalf of Sally Morris,
Secretary-General of the Association of Learned and Professional Society
Publishers. Any queries, please refer to Sally Morris at [log in to unmask]

Subject: RoweCom
Please find attached
the 'Open Letter' which the Steering Committee acting on behalf of creditors of
RoweCom has just issued to update both libraries and publishers about the
current situation, and to give both groups an indication of the course of
action which we recommend. We feel it is extremely important that both
communities are made aware of this as soon as possible, and your help in
passing this on to your members/readers would be very much appreciated
A (continually
growing) list of those publishers who have agreed to extend their
customary grace period for RoweCom subscribers (most of whom will probably
agree to supply the whole year's subscriptions if the proposed solution goes
ahead) can be found under 'Files at groups.yahoo.com/group/rowecomcreditors/ - you have to sign up to the list first to gain access.
Many thanks for your
help
Sally
