[BOAI] Open Access Disc has been launched

[Constantinescu Nicolaie]

Dear friends,

I would like to present to you the Open Access Disc, one of the
primary information sources for all the Romanian scholarly fora and
information scientists in Romania. Open Access Disc was launched on
27th of November at Central University Library Bucharest as the main
information product for Open Access advocating in Romania.
This is a collection of resources that will help all those interested
to get a view upon Open Access paradigm. The content is both in
Romanian language and also English as all of the texts are
translations from the original texts.  The English facet has been
built as a natural correspondence as the content is translated from
English language. Also this facet is put in its rightful place
thinking the purpose of gaining support also from external partners
and bringing them more close to our efforts.
The aim of this product is to bring awareness and offer insight to
someone starting with the introductory notions up to the stage of
using a real helping tool: Open Journal Systems. This product is not a
final one nor a complete collection though we have stride to bring the
most visible and easy to understand resources out there. This
collection should be regarded as a grid that has to be evolved into a
complex answer structured in a simple condensed manner.
We hope you will find this product as something interesting and we are
glad if your opinions return to us.

Also the Open Access Disc contains the Romanian translation of Open
Access - Opportunities and challenges: a handbook. In this respect we
would like to thank the Research Directorate-General and German
Commission for UNESCO.

We would like to thank all of those who got involved in all the stages
of Open Access Disc build up.
