<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the run-up to Open Access Week, 18th-24th October 2010,
it would be great to raise awareness of the event for a wider community. We
thought that one way to achieve this would be by proposing the week as a
subject for a Google Doodle for their main home page or the home page of Google
Scholar. Since Google will receive large numbers of suggestions for Doodles it
would help if the OA community could join us in lobbying Google to consider OA
week. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To make a suggestion for the Doodle simply email Google at
<a href="mailto:proposals@google.com" target="_blank">proposals@google.com</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Suggested email text:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The week of October 18th is international Open Access week,
with events and activities taking place world-wide on university and research
campuses. We believe that Open Access, researchers making their research
articles available for free to all, is an exciting and important shift in the
availability of research for scholars and the public. We would like to support
the idea of a Google Doodle on Open Access for this week.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Rob.</p>
