Re: Who gets hurt by Open Access?

There are various partnering possibilities.  One is illustrated by a
collaboration between the Florida Center for Library Automation and
several societies:

 Society of Nematologists
 Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante (IPP) - Sect. of Bari of the C.N.R
 Organization of Nematologists of Tropical America
       http://palmm.fcla.edu/nematode/index.htm
 Florida Entomological Society
        http://www.fcla.edu/FlaEnt/
 Florida State Horticultural Society       
       http://purl.fcla.edu/fcla/fshs/

All of these journals are freely available with only one embargoed for one
year.
