<DIV>It is certainly worth any subscriber to this list who supports open access
submitting evidence, whether institutional or personal. Submissions to the 2004
Enquiry by the equivalent House of Commons Select Committee were taken seriously
and many did influence the Committee’s Report, although (unfortunately) not the
UK Government’s Response. I urge everybody not to tie themselves too closely to
the four issues highlighted by the Committee. In particular it would be good to
see submissions which look at OA from researchers’ or taxpayers’
perspectives.</DIV>
