Dear all,<br><br>
"IRcuresILL" project created a poster, saying "Search the
Web before<br>
requesting", and many university libraries in Japan displayed
it<br>
in front of their ILL/DD counters through the Week, to appeal to<br>
the ILL/DD users that they might save time and money by OA items<br>
on the Web.<br><br>
Some of the libraries sent their photos to the project, shown
below:<br><br>
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/ircuresill/OAweek" eudora="autourl">
http://picasaweb.google.com/ircuresill/OAweek</a>#<br>
(including photos of project guests)<br><br>
IRcuresILL project supposes that OA repositories and ILL/DD service<br>
are similar in some respects and OA could replace ILL/DD though<br>
only gradually.<br><br>
Thank you.<br><br>
Regards,<br>
-- <br>
