Less than a week after the Budapest Open Access Initiative launched its discussion forum, the American Library Association has announced the creation of ScholComm, a discussion list on scholarly communication. The list will embrace "topics such as open access to scholarly information, new models of scholarly publishing, increasing journal prices, copyright law and policy, related technologies, and federal information law and policies that impact the access of scholars, students, and the general public to scholarly information." ScholComm discussion will begin February 24.

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.
