SLA Expresses Concern with GAO and Thomson West Agreement
From SLA's Public Policy Connections blog:
SLA and others wrote a letter to Gene L. Dodaro, Acting Comptroller General of the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO), expressing serious concerns about the “exclusive” agreement between the GAO and Thomson West, a private legal information provider. The letter encourages that the agreement be revisited, keeping in mind the need to create partnerships that most benefit the public interest and urging that any future digitization initiatives build no-fee public access into the solicitation for bids.
