If I can believe the Webalyzer statistics almost a third of the infobib.de readers are from non-english non-german speaking countries. Therefore I want to make a first english posting. It won’t be the last one:
There is an ongoing EU petition for guaranteed public access to publicly-funded research results.
Sign it! Spread it!
You can find further information on open access on the petition’s site, in Peter Suber’s blog or in his (who signed the petition, too, of course) “Overview to Open Access“.
