Chicago's Oriental Institute commits to OA

The University of Chicago's Oriental Institute has committed to open access. (Thanks to Ross Scaife.) Here's the announcement on its electronic publications page (apparently October 7, 2005):
Starting in 2005, the Oriental Institute is committed to digitizing all of its publications and making them available online, without charge. The minimum for each volume, old and new, current and forthcoming, will be a Portable Document Format (PDF) version following current resolution standards. New publications will appear online at or near the same time they appear in print. Older publications will be processed as time and funding permits.
