I just mailed the November issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. This issue takes a close look at the Open Content Alliance and interviews Cara Kaufman on the recent Kaufman-Wills report on OA journals. The Top Stories section takes a brief look at the new CIBER study of author attitudes toward OA, the Adelphi Charter on intellectual property and OA, the Canadian National Science Advisor's endorsement of OA, the hybrid OA model for journals, the draft OA policy from the RCUK, and the lawsuit by five publishers against Google.

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.
