Re: Declaration of Rights and Principles to Transform Scholarly Communication

"On behalf of the University Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication (UCOLASC), we are writing to report that UCOLASC has strongly and unanimously endorsed (12-0) a set of 18 principles that we propose be taken into account when the University of California engages in its upcoming and future journal license negotiations with commercial publishers. These principles were developed by UCOLASC during the course of the year with input from various stakeholders across the University and at other like-minded academic institutions."
