Now that the holidays are over, you're no doubt back in the swing of the info biz. If you're looking for updates from the legal side of things, check out "From Chaos Come Answers to Legal Questions" by George H. Pike (page 1). He details the latest in the Authors Guild versus Google Books litigation and its similarities to a case between the guild and HathiTrust, along with Cengage Learning's bankruptcy filing and the National Security Agency's surveillance programs. Open access (OA) may not have been popular with publishers back in the day, but they're on board now with the Clearinghouse for the Open Research of the United States (CHORUS) initiative. And they're not alone-academic institutions are joining in with SHARE (SHared Access Research Ecosystem). Read more about OA in "Publishers Coming to the Rescue of Open Access?" by Dick Kaser (page 1).
