==Further reading== * [[Robert Darnton|Darnton, Robert]], "The Dream of a Universal Library" (review of [[Peter Baldwin (professor)|Peter Baldwin]], ''Athena Unbound: Why and How Scholarly Knowledge Should Be Free for All'', [[MIT Press]], 2023, 405 pp.), ''[[The New York Review of Books]]'', vol. LXX, no. 20 (21 December 2023), pp. 73–74. Reviewer [[Robert Darnton|Darnton]] writes: "[[Peter Baldwin (professor)|Baldwin]] warns: [[scientific journal|journal]] publishers are gouging their customers, scholarly [[monograph]]s reach a tiny audience, [[libraries]] are floundering under [[budget]] pressures, [[academic]]s are pursuing [[career]]s rather than [[truth]], and readers are not getting all the [[information]] they deserve." (p. 74.) Writes Darnton: "Most scientific research is subsidized by the federal government." Under a 2022 [[White House]] directive, "As of December 31, 2025, all agencies... must require immediate open access... The [[G7]] leaders took a similar stand on May 14, 2023, as did the [[European Council]] on May 23. The tide is turning in favor of unrestricted access, but the countervailing forces are so complex that the future remains cloudy."
