         ** Apologies for Cross-Posting **

The Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian 
Academy of Sciences and the Middle East Technical University in 
Turkey have adopted Open Access Self-Archiving Mandatesaand 
registered them
  in ROARMAP:

Bravo to these institutions. Worldwide, that now makes:

     11 institutional mandates
     3 departmental mandates
     12 funder mandates
     5 proposed funder mandates
     1 proposed multi-institutional mandate

(and some of the proposed mandates are big ones!)

If your institution has an Institutional Repository, please 
register it in the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), 
which will then track its growth and contents: 
http://roar.eprints.org/

And if your institution has adopted or is proposing to adopt an 
OA Self-Archiving Mandate, please register it in ROARMAP, for 
others to see and emulate: http://www.eprints.
