Serials: The Journal for the Serials Community  1 to 21 of 21
Issue:   Volume 18, Number 1 / March 2005

>From the Editorial Introduction to this issue:

.... Other significant feature in this issue is the publication of
presentations from UKSG's "sell-out" seminar on the Select Committee
report. The star studded line-up included Ian Gibson MP, who chaired the
Select Committee, and speakers from all parts of the industry.  In the
librarians' corner were Ann Okerson from Yale University, Tom Graham from
Newcastle University and Stephen Pinfield from Nottingham University.  
Between them they spoke of librarians' positive reaction to the repot and
disappointment with the Government' response.  Ann went on to disucss some
of the implications of open access publishing and institutional
repositories on Yale in particular, one of the world's leading research
libraries. In the publishers' corner were Jan Velterop from the open
access publisher BioMed Central, Martin Richardson from Oxford University
Press and Bob Campbell from Blackwell.  As can be imagined, their
perspectives and concerns were wide ranging and diverse and make for very
interesting reading.
