The Elsevier Dessert Reception — a favorite destination for ALA
midwinter goers since 1989 — has been nixed, creating both
astonishment and outrage among the library community.

Tom Reller, Director of Public Relations for Elsevier, cites a
conspicuous lack of appreciation as the main rationale for canceling
the event:

No chocolate fountain, no truffles, no tortes! I’m tired of librarians
criticizing our profit-making from one side of their mouth, while
stuffing an éclair into the other. If they want to eat, they can fight
over the ALA cheese and cracker table.

Över 9000 bibliotekarier har vädjat till Elsevier att återuppta
traditionen med gratis godsaker till
nästa år.

Detta samtidigt som över 9000 forskare vägrar samarbeta med Elsevier

Var finns lojaliteten?
