Reblogged from Canadian Association of Professional Academic Librarians:
It's rare to be sued for expressing your opinion on a blog but that's exactly what seems to be happening to a librarian at McMaster University in Hamilton Ontario. In fact,librarians in both Canada and the US took to social media yesterday to discuss the rumour that Edwin Mellen Press <http://mellenpress.com/> with offices in the United States and the United Kingdom was about to file a statement of claim against the McMaster librarian.
In case you haven't heard of a publisher's lawsuit against an academic librarian in Canada, CAPAL gives you a brief backstory and a link to the actual legal notice. And I don't think there's anything defamatory in sharing a link, now is there? ....
