According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Desktop Computer "We're delighted with the decision [to shut down PubScience]," LeDuc said. "The administration has done a tremendous job of hearing our concerns and responding to what we've always considered to be our legitimate concern."
Notebooks But library associations, which lobbied to keep PubScience alive, say shutting down the site is "a very significant loss," and an ominous sign for other government-funded information Web sites.
Lenovo "The Department of Energy has been doing a lot of information gathering and making information available to the scientific community for decades. For them to drop out is a very, very significant loss," said Susan Martin, a Massachusetts-based academic library consultant.
Hard Drive Closure of the site means that articles from several small scientific publications "that aren't available anywhere else will no longer be available," she said.
Travelstar Emily Sheketoff, associate executive director of the American Library Association's Washington Office, offered a harsher assessment. "The government recognized a need, designed a way to fill it and when it starts to be successful, the private sector says, 'Get out of the way, let us make a buck.'"
Gateway She predicted that the elimination of PubScience will have a "big financial impact" on research libraries.
Laptop Parts Libraries now will have to pay publishing companies for a service they got for free from the Energy Department, Sheketoff said. "As libraries have shrinking resources because local tax bases and state resources are shrinking, it's really tough to put more financial pressure on them."
Software Scirus and another online source of scientific information, Infotrieve, charge $15 to about $40 per article, according to the American Library Association.
Hard Drives LeDuc said it is fairer to charge researchers for the articles they use than to charge taxpayers for the cost of running a Web site that makes them available for free.
Electronics He said about 10 companies in the SIIA were anxious to eliminate competition from PubScience, and member companies now want the trade association to challenge other government Web sites.
Canon Two in particular rile SIIA members: "One is law-related, the other has to do with agriculture," LeDuc said. He declined to identify them further.
Desktop Pc One site the SIIA is unlikely to challenge is PubMed, the National Library of Medicine site (http://www.pubmed.gov) that provides free access to millions of medical articles and research papers. PubMed was established much earlier and has a strong foothold, LeDuc said. "We have no intention of going after PubMed."
