The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) invites tenders for a project to investigate the feasibility of approaches to improve the consistency with which repositories share material.
Total funding of £50,000 is available for this project....
The work will be for five months beginning in May 2008 and ending by 31st October 2008. Tenders should be submitted no later than 12:00 noon on 9th May 2008.
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.
