The Library Journal Academic Newswire for July 31 erroneously reported that Ray English (Director of Libraries at Oberlin College) wrote the July 28 LATimes editorial in support of an OA mandate at the NIH.
Ray tells me that the report is in error, perhaps arising from the fact that he forwarded a copy of the editorial to LibLicense. He also tells me that LJAN plans to run a correction.
Update. The Library Journal Academic Newswire ran the correction in its August 2 issue.

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.
