provisions of the US Copyright law I can send anything I want for use by
students. Furthermore my publishers have given me permission to send copies of
scholarly works whenever I have asked. I am going to attach one but do not know
if the Moderator will allow it. This whole agony over open access is just a
self-aggrandizing agenda of a few people. Why MIT with whom I am
affiliated, among others, makes so much in science and technology
available as to satisfy most inquisitors without any prompting by open access
organizations. Furthermore most of the scholarly work of any merit is kept
secret in order to obtain a competitive advantage either for tenure or other
financial gain.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>That is against copyright and library rules....plus what you do
fosters a club culture that does not solve the issue of lack of access from

2010 declared for October 18 to 24<BR>Researchers challenged to demonstrate
the impact of Open Access on research and scholarship<BR><BR>(Washington,
DC) Open Access Week, the global event to promote free, immediate, online
access to research now entering its fourth year, has been declared for
October 18 to 24, 2010. Open Access Week is an opportunity for the worldwide
academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential
benefits of Open Access (OA), to share what they've learned with colleagues,
and to inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm
in scholarship and research.<BR><BR>"Open Access Week has evolved from a
one-day student event on a dozen campuses to a truly global phenomenon,"
said Jennifer McLennan, Open Access Week program director at SPARC (the
Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition). "We've seen
participation expand to include hundreds of university and college campuses,
research institutes, funding agencies, libraries, and think tanks - all
connecting the fast-growing global momentum toward openness with the
advancement of policy changes on the local level." In 2009, Open Access Week
spurred the announcement of actions including expanded open-access
publication funds, the adoption of institution-wide open-access policies,
and the release of new reports on the societal and economic benefits of
OA.<BR><BR>This year's OA Week preparations kick off with a challenge to
researchers from Dr. Philip E. Bourne, Professor of Pharmacy and
Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of California San Diego and
Founding Editor-in-Chief of PLoS Computational Biology. In a video posted to
the OA Week Web site, Bourne calls upon scholars to think beyond free and
ready access to the literature - made possible by Open Access - and consider
how technology may be deployed to advance research, to truly mine the
increasing amount of available literature.<BR><BR>He says, "What I think
ultimately will be the main success of Open Access, is that you have the
full text of the literature in an XML format that can be analyzed and used
by computer. The idea that we'll be able to keep up with [the volume of
literature being published] is just untenable. To actually make full use of
the literature, we're going to require tools to help us." He challenges his
peers in the research community to surface efforts like SciVee (a new type
of learning experience that mashes up journal articles with rich media) and
UCSD's BioLit (an initiative to integrate database identifiers and rich
meta-data from open-access articles with biological databases) - both of
which "would not be possible without unbridled and free access to the
literature."</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><BR>Challenges like Dr. Bourne's, and responses to
them - experiences and projects that demonstrate the power of Open Access to
enable the Web and advance discovery - will be highlighted across global
efforts in conjunction with the Week. Details may be posted or linked on the
Open Access Week Web site by October 10, 2010.<BR><BR>The new Open Access
Week Web site, at <A href="http://www.openaccessweek.org"
target=_blank>http://www.openaccessweek.org</A>, details how participants
across sectors - from research funders and producers to students and
libraries - have taken advantage of the event to advance Open Access, and
offers ideas for 2010.<BR><BR>"There are a multitude of ways to participate
in OA Week," said Alma Swan, program adviser. "It can be as simple as
wearing a bright orange shirt or as complex as introducing a new OA policy.
OA Week may also be the chance to let your imagination have full rein and
come up with something ambitious, wacky, or fun."<BR><BR>Organizations and
individuals planning to participate or interested in more information about
Open Access Week 2010 should register now on the Web site for access to
regional and global contacts and resources.<BR><BR>Open Access Week is
organized by SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources
Coalition), with expert guidance from an international panel of Open Access
leaders. Program advisers include: Subbiah Arunachalam (Centre for Internet
and Society, Bangalore), Leslie Chan (University of Toronto, Scarborough,
OASIS), Melissa Hagemann (Open Society Institute), Thomas Hickerson
(University of Calgary), Heather Joseph (SPARC), Iryna Kuchma (eIFL.net), Li

Science), Robin Peek (Open Access Directory, Simmons College), Carolina
