April issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the April issue of the SPARC Open Access 
Newsletter.  This issue takes a close look at the new open access 
policy at Germany's DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft or 
German Research Foundation).  The Top Stories section takes a 
brief look at the problem of OA to avian flu data, the campaign 
for OA to geodata in the UK, two OA presses from US universities, 
financial incentives at the University of Minho to fill its OA 
repository, and the new finding by the ALPSP that librarians are 
much more likely to cancel journals because of high prices than 
because of OA archiving.
