October issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the October issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.  
This issue takes a close look at the OA policy from the Wellcome Trust,
which took effect yesterday, and the Authors Guild lawsuit against the
Google Library project.  The Top Stories section takes a brief look at the
new OECD report on scientific publishing, the CODATA proposal for a Global
Information Commons for Science, Stevan Harnad's calculation of the
monetary cost of lost citation impact, the new AZoM OA journal with a
patented business model, the two Salvador declarations, and the continuing
news and comment on the draft OA policy from RCUK.
