...royalties that journals collect. Journals are not all costs however, and one negative of avoiding scholarly journals is the loss of the peer-review process. Yet programs like this one are an important way of providing access to information at no cost.

Harvard is fortunate enough to provide its students with JSTOR and other expensive and all-encompassing online access programs, but all schools should work within their financial means to provide the most comprehensive access for their students...

The action had been called to press for the release of the results of an election more than two weeks ago that the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) claims to have won, but which the authorities have withheld - and have since talked of a recount next weekend.
