Please, if you have it or can get it, refer to "Newsletter on Serials
Pricing Issues," no.130, January 6, 1995.  In this it is stated: "there
is no intent on our part to supersede the rights of subscribers to
operate within fair use provisions of their copyright laws---"  and again
under "Basic List Rate" is stated "We expect subscribers at this rate to
use the journal in accordance with their own national copyright laws."
According thus from G&B.

from the listserv address:  listserv@unc.edu   via an e-mail message
