It's the end of the semester! How do I know? Family members are dropping like flies, especially grandmothers.
"Family members literally worry themselves to death over the outcome of their relatives' performance on each exam." :)

Another round of negotiations just failed - not even included in this article. Basically what Elsevier does is nothing but blackmailing science

When the Dutch were negotiating with Elsevier in 2015, they appeared to be bargaining hard, digging in their heels and not reaching a deal by the end of the year. Then a few months later, after threats of boycotts by Dutch academics and the like, an agreement was finally obtained, but, surprise surprise, it was confidential. Now its full crapness (crapitude?) has been revealed. I suppose it makes Jisc's capitulation in the UK look slightly less bad. But let's hope the Germans will do a lot better than either of them. Just as Merkel is (often described as) the leader of the free world, the German negotiators may be becoming the leaders of the fight to emancipate ourselves from the big publishers.
