Cornell Librarians Oppose Conyers OA Bill

Peter Suber at Open Access News is reporting that librarians at Cornell are speaking out against H.R. 801 bill (reported earlier this month by OEN), which would reduce open access to government-funded research. From Suber’s commentary:

Kudos to the Cornell librarians. It’s terribly important that research institutions speak up, not just individual researchers. The bill could move to the floor at any time, or equivalent language could be attached to another bill moving to the floor.
