[GOAL] Re: [SCHOLCOMM] New Year's challenge for repository developers and managers: awesome cross-search

[Alma Swan]

The UK's House of Lords (upper chamber of Parliament) Science & Technology
Committee is conducting an enquiry into Open Access. Written submissions are
welcome. Individuals and organisations are invited to give their views on
the actions taken by Government and RCUK following publication of the Finch
report. 

The HoL has issued guidance
<http://www.openscholarship.org/jcms/c_7334/hol-guidance-notes-open-access-e
nquiry> on how to make written submissions.

In particular, there are four issues highlighted by the committee:
* support for universities in the form of funds to cover article processing
charges, and the response of universities and HEIs to these efforts
* embargo periods for articles published under the Green model
* engagement with publishers, universities, learned societies and other
stakeholders in the development of research council Open Access policies and
guidance 
* challenges and concerns raised by the scientific and publishing
communities, and how these have been addressed
 
The deadline is 18th January.
