This is a wonderful initiative. Best of luck!<BR>

PS If now we could create a parallel taskforce to study how to help promote the papers in repositories beyond simple Google search, etc., that would be wonderful too.<BR>

Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR)<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.coar-repositories.org/">http://www.coar-repositories.org/</A> has formed a Task Force for “Open<BR>
Access Agreements and Licenses” with members representing both the<BR>
repository community as well as the licensing community (see below for<BR>
a current list of members).<BR>
<BR>
The purpose of the Task Force is to improve access to research papers<BR>
globally, and the desired outcomes are:<BR>
<BR>
• Review existing agreements and licenses<BR>
<BR>
• Assessment of efficacy and value of various licenses and agreements<BR>
<BR>
• Recommendations and best practices for creating and adopting OA<BR>
agreements and licenses<BR>
<BR>
• Communication plan for distributing and promoting recommendations<BR>
<BR>
We are now turning to you members of the liblicense mailing list to<BR>
ask for your help in collecting different versions of open access<BR>
clauses (e.g. author rights, self-archiving, parallel publication,<BR>
compensation for Open Access material etc.) from your existing<BR>
licenses, and also samples of agreements with gold open access<BR>
publishers. Please send your replies to <A HREF="mailto:anna.lunden@kb.se">anna.lunden@kb.se</A>.<BR>
<BR>
We aim to have our preliminary results available in time for the ICOLC<BR>
conference in Vienna in October, and look forward to having an<BR>
opportunity to discuss them then!<BR>
<BR>
Best regards,<BR>
<BR>
Anna Lundén on behalf of the Open Access Agreements and Licenses Task Force<BR>
