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

[Peter Suber]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the March issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.  This 
issue takes a close look at recent steps to strengthen the NIH policy and 
three trends that could cause collateral damage to OA:  the webcasting 
treaty, the opposition to network neutrality, and the end of free 
email.  The Top Stories section takes a brief look at Hindawi's 
simultaneous conversion of 13 subscription journals to OA, new support for 
OA to data, OA commitments in Spain, the launch of Open J-Gate, and several 
recent awards that honor and recognize work on OA.
