53 liberal arts college presidents endorse FRPAA

[Ray English <Ray.English@oberlin.edu>]

I thought readers of this list would be interested in the 
following article, which appeared in Inside Higher Education on 
Wednesday. It's primarily about a joint letter from 53 liberal 
arts college presidents that endorses the Federal Research Public 
Access Act.

As a footnote, I was incorrectly quoted in the article as saying 
the system of scholarly communication fundamentally "unstable." 
The word I actually used was "unsustainable."

And as a second footnote, 56 presidents have now signed on to the 
letter -- three- fourths of the institutions represented in the 
Oberlin Group of Liberal Arts College Libraries.
