* Announcement [cross-posted] *

I just mailed the August issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.  In 
addition to the usual round-up of news from the past month, it takes a 
close look at the proposals in both the US and the UK to mandate 
open-access archiving for the results of taxpayer-funded research.  The US 
proposal comes from the House Appropriations Committee and focuses on 
NIH-funded research.  The UK proposal comes from the report of the House of 
Commons Science and Technology Committee and would apply to all 
taxpayer-funded research.
