Re: A Prophylactic Against the Edentation of the RCUK Policy Proposal

["Anthony Watkinson" <anthony.watkinson@btopenworld.com>]

On the front page of the SPARC site there is a section called Resources.
In that section there are links to Create Change (updated November 2003),
Declaring Independence (dated 2001 and not obviously updated) and Gaining
Independence (2002). This is on the first page of the SPARC site just
belowWhat's New. These documents, which I read and reviewed (for Learned
Publishing) when they came out are (as you see) nor more recent than the
Raym Crow document. Even from my point of view there is a great deal to be
said for at least three of these documents especially Gaining
Independence. It does seem however odd that the seminal works on
repositories have been relegated to three clicks away and one has to
wonder whether the fact that the views expressed (not now favored by
current orthodoxy) has something to do with this.
