October issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the October issue of the SPARC Open Access 
Newsletter.  This issue takes a close look at the bill to 
overturn the NIH public access policy, the Fair Copyright in 
Research Works Act (H.R. 6845), and the publishing lobby's 
arguments in support of it.  The round-up section briefly notes 
149 OA developments from September.
