March issue of Serials

The March issue of Serials is now online. Here are the OA-related articles. Unfortunately, only the TOC and abstracts are free online, at least so far.
  • Ian Gibson, Overview of the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee inquiry into Scientific Publications
  • Tom Graham, Scientific Publications: Free for all? The academic library viewpoint
  • Ann Okerson, Open access: reflections from the United States
  • Jan Velterop, Open access: principle, practice, progress
  • Stephen Pinfield, A mandate to self archive? The role of open access institutional repositories
  • Martin Richardson, Open access: evidence-based policy or policy-based evidence? The university press perspective
  • Marie McVeigh and James Pringle, Open access to the medical literature: How much content is available in published journals?
  • Agnès Ponsati and Mercedes Baquero, An analysis of the use of digital collections in a scientific research library network: Part two of a case study from CSIC, Madrid, Spain
  • Chuck Hamaker and Brad Spry, Google Scholar

(PS: In the past when I've listed OA-related articles from new issues of journals, I've included deep links to the individual articles. But this takes time that I rarely have these days. As long as the article links are only one click away, through the TOC, I'll feel free to omit them.)
