[Irtalk] Elseviergate today: LIBER says to Libraries: DONT sign Elsevier’s click-through licence for Content Mining (TDM) « petermr's blog

[Hilton Gibson]

A month or so ago Elsevier published a “click-through” licence “allowing”
researchers to use Elsevier content for Text-and-Data-Mining (TDM) – more
widely content mining.  Nature News rejoiced and suggested everyone could
start mining. I read the licence carefully and wrote several [start] blog
posts [end] showing the great danger of anyone signing . Effectively DONT.
