The Newfoundland and Labrador Library Association stands with a number of other associations in support of Dale Askey and McMaster University in their defense against the lawsuit issued by Edwin Mellen Press. This is an unfortunate attack on academic and professional freedom and an affront to our efforts as library workers to encourage open and critical evaluation of information. We encourage Edwin Mellon Press to drop this suit and engage with the library community in a more useful dialogue.
For more information on this lawsuit see Confessions of a Science Librarian.
