The Free Online Scholarship (FOS) Newsletter has been dormant since September 2002, but I'm happy to announce that it has resumed regular publication. It has a new name, the SPARC Open Access Newsletter, and a new publisher, SPARC. I just mailed the first issue under the new name. Among other things, it covers Martin Sabo's Public Access to Science Act, the threat to open access from spam remedies, and some detail on what made the revival of the newsletter possible. If you're not a subscriber, subscribe by sending any message to SPARC-OANews-feed@arl.org. The associated discussion list is now called the SPARC Open Access Forum. To subscribe to it, send any message to SPARC-OAForum-feed@arl.org. For more details, see my home page for the newsletter and forum. It's good to be back.

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.
