FUD on OA
Fri 26 Jan 2007, 3:33 pm
PR’s ‘pit bull’ takes on open access, a news item in Nature, has some truly amazing quotes from open access opponents spreading FUD.
My favorite is this bit of doublethink from publicist Eric Dezenhall: “Public access equals government censorship.” And freedom is totally slavery.
(You can find good commentary on this article at Caveat Lector (of course), as well as Pegasus Librarian, and ACRLog.)
