September issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* Announcement [cross-posted] *

I just mailed the September issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.  
In addition to the usual round-up of news from the past month, it takes a
close look at a cluster of related problems:  stretching or diluting the
term "open access" to cover all flavors of widening access, hesitating to
praise steps that widen access if they stop short of full OA, and letting
a fuzzy OA meme outpace the spread of the major public definitions from
Budapest, Bethesda, and Berlin.  The issue also includes a reflection on
September 11 three years later.
