Re: [BOAI] The Bangalore Policy statement

Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 13:26:55 +0000 (GMT) From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah_a(a)yahoo.com> Friends: Someone wondered what was the need to have the Bangalore workshop on open access when we already had the Salvador Declaration for Open Access for Developing Countries. The B'lore workshop had a specific focus - bringing together the large scientifically advanced developing countries and to develop a common strategy for those countries. Eve Gray of South Africa has captured the essence of the workshop in her excellent blog entry, available at: http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2006-November/004933.html ------
