Indeed there is something important which I omitted including -- 
as a colleague in the UK was so kind as to remind me not long 
after I sent my summary out today to another list to  which I had 
earlier posed the same query.

It is the Research Information Network's report entitled 
_Overcoming barriers : access to research information content_, 
dated December 2009.

This report "presents the findings of five studies commissioned 
by the Research Information Network (RIN) to assess the nature 
and scale of key restrictions on access to information resources 
of importance to researchers, the impact of these restrictions, 
and ways in which they might be alleviated or overcome." ( the 
report, p.4 )

Links to all six documents, plus a briefing paper, can be found 
at :

This omission on my part is particularly regrettable, since this 
is surely among the most relevant sources of information 
regarding the question at hand ( at least as far as the UK 
situation is concerned ), and indeed a source which I myself had, 
I believe, already encountered not long after it became 
available.

My apologies.
