I am starting a new thread to discuss what happened with O'Brien's commentaries and the question of whether to return these commentaries for refund or keep them in relation to academic writing.
I can see the value of keeping them. In my view, they probably still have great value. Moreover, I am concerned that these volumes are not close to being replaced (we will be missing the corresponding book in the collections of which they are part).
BUT I am also concerned about the possibility, in keeping these resources, of forgetting not to use or reference them for published or submitted work. To keep them would seem to have to be for personal use only. Even so, I wish there was some kind of flag up (something one cannot miss, like a red banner) to remind us to use with caution.
Thoughts?
