Re: OA needs its own list

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

Will,

There are several discussion lists devoted to open access.  Here are three
main ones:

SPARC Open Access Forum
http://www.arl.org/sparc/soa/index.html#forum

BOAI [Budapest Open Access Initiative] Forum
http://www.soros.org/openaccess/forum.shtml

American Scientist Open Access Forum (formerly, the September98 Forum)
http://american-scientist-open-access-forum.amsci.org/archives/American-Scientist-Open-Access-Forum.html

(Disclaimer:  I moderate the first two, and Stevan Harnad moderates the
third.)

While I'm happy to spread the word about these lists, I would regret to
see OA issues disappear from LibLicense, where a large and influential
audience can follow the discussion and take part.
