Colegas, Repasso a informação sobre o portal PhilPapers (http://philpapers.org) que é o melhor recurso online para pesquisa em filosofia que conheço. Muito útil mesmo. Ele passará a cobrar subscrições de instituições, nos moldes do JSTOR, creio. Talvez valha uma discussão sobre a possibilidade de a CAPES incluir o portal entre os seus serviços, via Portal de Periódicos!! Seria uma pena se perdêssemos acesso a este recurso tão útil.
Saudações, Daniel. Início da mensagem encaminhada: > De: David Chalmers <[email protected]> > Assunto: PhilPapers seeking financial support through institutional > subscriptions > Data: 14 de Abril de 2014 às 22:50:14 GMT-3 > Para: [email protected] > > Dear Daniel, > > We are writing to let you know that PhilPapers is moving to a subscription > model whereby institutions pay to subscribe to PhilPapers. We are also > requesting your support in asking your institution to subscribe. PhilPapers > will remain a noncommercial enterprise administered by the nonprofit > PhilPapers Foundation as a service to the philosophical community. > > In five years, PhilPapers has grown into a major service central to many of > the activities of the profession. Thanks to the hundreds of editors and > thousands of volunteers that contribute to PhilPapers, our index has grown to > over 1,000,000 items organized in nearly 5,000 bibliographies. A pet project > has turned into the best and most widely used bibliographical resource in the > field. > > Many changes have taken place at PhilPapers. Chief among these changes, David > Bourget, the architect of PhilPapers, now has a tenure-track appointment with > teaching, research, and service duties in addition to PhilPapers. We need > technical staff that can assume many of David's roles, from server > maintenance and administrative support to application programming and user > interface design. A whole team is needed for PhilPapers to thrive and develop > to its full potential. It is important to make the transition to a > team-supported project to ensure PhilPapers' sustainability in the long run. > > Sustaining PhilPapers will require significant financial support. We have > considered many different models, including asking for donations and > requiring subscriptions. After much consultation, it has become clear to us > that the best way forward is a model involving annual subscriptions for large > institutions. > > Starting June 1, 2014, we ask large institutions (especially universities) to > pay an annual subscription fee for their users to have full access to > PhilPapers. Full details about the subscription model, including > institutional criteria and fees, can be found on this page. > > Users accessing PhilPapers from computers at non-subscribing institutions > will have their access limited in various ways. In the initial stages, these > limitations will take the form of banners and data throttling, so that users > at these institutions can still use PhilPapers, albeit under non-ideal > conditions. In the longer term, stronger access limitations may be imposed. > Individuals using PhilPapers from non-institutional locations (e.g. from > home) will continue to have free access to PhilPapers, as will PhilPapers > editors who are signed in using their account. The PhilPapers Open Access > Archive, PhilJobs, and PhilEvents will remain open access. We believe that > this model provides the right balance of open access and financial support. > > One reason why the subscription model is appropriate is that PhilPapers > replaces indexes sold by commercial vendors that require subscriptions. We > believe that PhilPapers is the best bibliographic service available in > philosophy. It is more complete and more usable than the alternatives, and > even on the subscription model it remains much cheaper. > > If you think that PhilPapers is worth supporting, please consider suggesting > that your library purchase a subscription to PhilPapers. You can find details > on how to contact your university librarian here. Your support is important > in ensuring a viable future for PhilPapers. > > See this page for more information on subscriptions: > > http://philpapers.org/subscriptions/ > > David Bourget and David Chalmers > Co-Directors, PhilPapers > _______________________________________________ Logica-l mailing list [email protected] http://www.dimap.ufrn.br/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/logica-l
