    "Open Access and Retrieval: Liberating the Scholarly Literature"

    "An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make
    possible an unprecedented public good"
    [ http://www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml ]

         I am pleased to inform you that my chapter on

    "Open Access and Retrieval: Liberating the Scholarly Literature"

    written for a volume on _E-Serials Collection Management: Transitions,

    Trends, and Technicalities _ (edited by David C. Fowler. New York :
    Haworth Information Press, 2004) has been officially published

    [http://www.haworthpressinc.com/store/sampletext/4879.pdf]

    Chapter 10. Open Access and Retrieval: Liberating the Scholarly
    Literature 197

    Budapest Open Access Initiative 197
    New Generation Journals 199
    Self-Archiving 200
    EPrints 201
    Open Archives Initiative 206
    Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata
    Harvesting 208
    Roles and Responsibilities of Self-Archiving 212
    "The Future of Ideas" 215

    FROM THE CONCLUSION:
    Whether the self-archiving model becomes the new paradigm for scholarly
    publishing as envisioned by its proponents will depend not only on improved
    archiving and retrieval software and systems but also, and more
    importantly, on the degree to which all stakeholders endorse and embrace
    its potential as a viable and sustainable publishing alternative.
