New from the Ivy Plus Library Confederation (#IPLC): "The 13 Ivy Plus #libraries are both surprised by and united in opposition to the zero embargo option announced by the American Chemical Society (#ACS)…This unexpected new [Article Development Charge, #ADC] is a clear challenge to both authors’ rights and the developing scholarly communications ecosystem…The new ADC charge proposed by the ACS is objectionable on many levels…"

Another excerpt: "As representatives of some of the most well-resourced #libraries in the country, we are committed to using our resources to promote public access to all research, not just the research our scholars produce. If public access to research outputs is achieved via a pay-to-publish model, we will have squandered an opportunity to promote #equity in scholarly communication."
