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

[Peter Suber]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the July issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.  This 
issue takes a close look at OA and the variety of digitization 
projects.  How far can we defend the principle that the results of 
publicly-funded digitization projects should be OA?  What if the public 
funds are supplemented by private funds?  What if the works to be digitized 
are under copyright?  What if the project wants to provide gratis rather 
than libre OA?

The round-up section briefly notes 166 OA developments from June.
