[OAI-eprints] August issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the August issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.  This 
issue --my 100th-- takes a close look at 10 lessons drawn from five major 
funder OA policies or proposals (NIH, Wellcome Trust, RCUK, CURES, and 
FRPAA).  The Top Stories section takes a brief look at the OA practices of 
the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Alliance, the OA-oriented Rice 
University Press and MediaCommons, the new Gates Foundation data-sharing 
requirement, the provost letter in support of FRPAA, and continuing news 
and comment on the new RCUK policy.
