https://arl.org/Lists/SPARC-OAForum/Message/5766.htmlFor the last eight years or so, a group of dedicated French academics have been supporting a French imitation of JSTOR, whose advantage over its older and bigger US model is that it is in Open Access. ( http://www.persee.fr ).A petition is being circulated right now to try stopping the University of Lyon-2 from killing this project.The petition can be signed at http://lapetition.be/en-ligne/petition-9491.html . Please sign it.Unhappily, they have not provided an English translation for the petition, but the point is obvious, and filling the fields is not difficult, even for someone who does not read French.If anyone meets with difficulties, please contact me.They deserve the strongest and widest support from all.Jean-Claude Guédon Update:http://www.univ-lyon2.fr/actualite/actualites-universitaires/mise-au-point-concernant-la-situation-du-programme-persee-430243.kjsp?RH=WWW_FR&#38;RF=www6031
