Abstract: The roles of the government, author, publisher, library, user, public, and foreign countries are linked to the basic issue of the resolution as well as to the broader implications of the copyright problem. The major contention is that, since the government supports research and publication for the benefit of the public, this information should be disseminated at a minimum cost with maximum accessibility, at no extra profit to the publisher. Fiscal implications relate higher costs of publications to library budgetary limitations as basic reasons for subscription cuts. Data and citations from various sources are used to support the arguments for the affirmative of the resolution.
