In the round-up section of yesterday's issue of SOAN, I mistakenly said that Michael Geist's inquiry under Canada's Access to Information Act found a lack of interest in OA at the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). I should have said that the lack of interest in OA was at the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
The NHMRC is an Australian agency which encourages OA archiving for the research it funds.
My newsletter item was summarizing my blog post of May 28, 2007, which got the agency names right. (What was I thinking?) My apologies to the NHMRC. Thanks to Jim Till for his sharp eye.

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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
