March issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* 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.
