Dear Friends, Hear is a great road map to go on to 100% Open Access by our Country! Please look at the success Story of Association of Dutch Universities: The Association of Dutch Universities (VSNU) is presenting an E-zine today on the successful Dutch approach to achieving open access. The Dutch universities are working together to make scientific articles freely accessible to everyone. Big steps have been taken towards 100% open access, which has been recognized and applauded in the international academic community. In this publication, fifteen milestones are highlighted, as well as the definition of open access, the role of publishers, the process of negotiations with publishers, and the critical factors for success in the unique Dutch approach. http://www.magazine-on-the-spot.nl/openaccess/eng/ Unfortunately our Indian Association of Universities is struggling to organise only VC's Meetings in different places in order to provide holiday enjoyment to VCs and their families. Neither our Union Government MHRD is keen on these aspects nor our sleeping State Governments! Best Regards, *Dr. P. V.
