October issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* Announcement [cross-posted] *

Yesterday I mailed the October 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 the September activity on the NIH open-access plan.  It
reprints fascinating excerpts from an ancestral version of the open-access
debate 30 years ago, when the disruptive technology was not the internet
but photocopying machines.  For no reason except maybe the fall colors, it
also offers a haiku introduction to open access.
