University Actions Against High Journal Prices

Peter Suber's "Lists Related to The Open Access Movement," now includes an annotated list of university actions against high journal prices. [Via SPARC Open Access Newsletter]

We've all heard about the major actions, at schools like Cornell, Duke, Harvard, and Stanford. But to understand what's been going on, we need to see a more comprehensive account. I've put together this list of actions by U.S. universities since the fall of 2003, with enough links for those who want to read further and enough detail for those who don't. ... The list is in chronological order, starting in the fall of 2003. There are earlier actions, but they do not seem to be part of the current wave of cancellations and public statements.
