RE: Harvard Faculty Adopts OA Requirement

["McCulley, Michael" <MMcCulley@sandiego.gov>]

Too soon for Google, assuming this will land on a site or in a 
resource that is available to be indexed.. it may make Google 
News though.

Try contacting the press release contact for a copy of the 
resolution, assuming this isn't private or privileged 
communication:

http://www.fas.harvard.edu/home/news_and_events/releases/scholarly_02122008.html

Contact: Robert Mitchell
617.496.5399

If there's a linked version, or a shared copy available, I 
imagine Robert can get it.

ps. I saw some of Sandy's comments over on the Chronicle.com 
story.. small world ;)...

Best,
Michael
