Special Serials Review Issue on Open Access (and it is available on open access)

["David Goodman" <David.Goodman@liu.edu>]

There has just been published a special Issue of Serials Review on Open
Access

As the issue editor, I made arrangements with the publisher that the
entire issue would be used as their sample issue for this journal, for the
next 9 to 12 months. I asked for longer, but was not able to get it.  I
decided to accept the time limitation, as I hope that Elsevier will be a
fully OA publisher by then. :)

The issue is available at 
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00987913
It is vol.30 no.4, and marked "Complimentary" The contents are:
