June issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the June issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. 
This issue takes a close look at the calculations purporting to 
show that high-output research universities would pay more in 
author-side fees for OA journals than they pay now in 
subscriptions for non-OA journals.  It also takes a close look at 
Elsevier's new hybrid journals and the first month of news since 
the FRPAA was introduced into the US Senate.  The Top Stories 
section takes a brief look at the OA bill before the German 
Parliament, the national-level OA policies adopted or under 
consideration in Australia, Finland, Sweden, and South Africa, 
the OA mandate at India's National Institute of Technology, the 
OA recommendation at Humbolt University Berlin, the launch of new 
repositories at a handful of institutions around the world, and 
Gunther Eysenbach's new study confirming the existence of an OA 
impact advantage.
