*** Apologies for cross posting ***

SHERPA Services is pleased to announce that a new Spanish language version
of its RoMEO database is now available at:

http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/?la=es

The new version provides both the RoMEO interface and the existing RoMEO
data itself in Spanish. Further data on Spanish and other Hispanic
publishers will follow at a later date.

We are grateful to our colleagues in RECOLECTA (http://www.recolecta.net/)
for translating the original English into Spanish.

A Portuguese version of RoMEO was released in 2010, and SHERPA Services are
working on further language versions for release in the future. Please
contact us if you are interested in any specific languages and would like to
help with translations.
