On Lawrence Lessig's new book, Free Culture, which is available in both open-access <http://www.free-culture.cc/> and priced/printed <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1594200068/qid=1091586887/sr= 1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-2808347-4161631?v=glance&s=books> editions. Excerpt: "You can pay $25 for Lawrence Lessig's new book. Or you can download it for free. What's the catch? None, according to Lessig, a law professor who specializes in intellectual property and is the author of Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity. A memo Lessig wrote to his publisher convinced Penguin Books that releasing Free Culture online actually would increase sales of hardcove copies. Which may be true: there have been more than 180,000 downloads --and Penguin is on its third printing."

Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2004 08:14:06 -0700 (PDT) From: JK Vijayakumar <vjkjk(a)yahoo.com> Sorry for Cross Postings! eJDS -The Free electronic Journals Delivery Service Programme The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics /TWAS Donation Programme, Italy in collaboration with the ICTP Scientific Computer Section and ICTP Library, is developing a prototype information retrieval system called `eJournals Delivery Service'. The goal is to distribute individual scientific articles via e-mail to world scientists who do not have access to sufficient bandwidth to download material from the internet in a timely manner and/or cannot afford the connection. Providing scientists with current literature will support their ongoing research. eJDS is geared to facilitate the access to current scientific literature for free. Several publishing companies have enthusiastically adhered to this programme, with rules which depend on the publisher. Visit the site at http://www.ejds.org/ ------------------ J. K.

To keep oneself updated with developments in OA, please read "Open Access News" edited by Peter Suber or follow the prolific writings of Stevan Harnad. Both of them are known for their clarity.
