Five Universities Sign Open Access Funding Compact

["B.G. Sloan" <bgsloan2@yahoo.com>]

" . . .five schools at the forefront of the open access debate -- 
Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, MIT, 
and UC Berkeley -- have announced their joint support for 'A 
Compact on Open-Access Publishing.' The release accompanying the 
Compact touts the economic advantages of a robust author-pays 
option for scholarly publishing, and urges the academic community 
to step up university-wide efforts to make the author-pays model 
more viable."
