Upcoming Seminar: Preserving Digital Content (and the Opportunities It Holds) for the Long Haul.
A one day conference/seminar scheduled for March 4, 2003 in Philadelphia. It's co-sponsored by the National Library of Medicine and the American Medical Publishers Association. From a blurb, "The program features presentations on three electronic journal archiving strategies - Elsevier's agreement with the Royal Library of the Netherlands, NLM's PubMed Central, and JSTOR from the perspectives of publishers who have chosen each strategy and the organizations that are maintaining the archives.
The broader digital archiving landscape will also be covered, including initiatives of the Library of Congress, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Council of Library and Information Resources, the Mellon Foundation, and NLM's "Profiles in Science", which makes the papers of Nobel Prize-winning scientists accessible via the Web."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
