July issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the July issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. 
This issue takes a close look at the big step toward OA mandates 
at the RCUK, the big step toward an OA mandate at the NIH, and 
the case for mandating OA to electronic theses and dissertations. 
The Top Stories section takes a brief look at the Royal Society's 
decision to switch to hybrid OA journals, the PLoS preview of 
PLoS ONE and its first-ever fee increase, the results to date of 
Oxford's OA experiments, protests within the American 
Anthropological Association about the AAA decision to oppose 
FRPAA, the Science Commons launch of Scholar's Copyright, some 
new OA policies at three research institutions, and more news and 
comment on FRPAA.
