In a letter to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, AALL joined 9 other national and regional library, publishing, and advocacy organizations in expressing their opposition to H.R. 3699, the Research Works Act.   As the letter states, the  “proposed legislation would unfairly and unnecessarily prohibit federal agencies from conditioning research grants to ensure that all members of the public receive timely, equitable, online access to articles that report the results of federally funded research that their tax dollars directly support.”

AALL has issued an action alert in opposition to H.R. 3699.    Visit the AALL Legislative Action Center where you can use their template to write to your House Representative and ask him or her to oppose H.R. 3699.
