August issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* 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.
