Discussed this with my Dad (a doctor) who offered this up. It's a post by a researcher discussing a petition to boycott Elsevier http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2012/02/27/5824/ http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2012/02/27/582... This bit sticks out: "Libraries have been facing increasing costs because of these bundling practices and the problem is worse in the developing world. I have had emails from people in Africa and some parts of Asia asking for a copy of an article because their universities have had to cut costs. According to my publishing agreement I would be breaking the law to send it to them – this sticks in my throat, especially after my recent visit to Vietnam."
