Online Forum on Open Access <http://amsci-forum.amsci.org/archives/september98-forum.html> A complete archive of the ongoing discussion on providing online open access to the peer-reviewed research literature is available at the American Scientist Open Access Forum. Post discussion to: <september98-forum@amsci-forum.amsci.org> <<...OLE_Obj...>> Open Access News <http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/fosblog.html> A blog edited by Peter Suber that focuses on efforts to create toll-free access to peer-reviewed research and scholarship. EPrints: Author/Institutional Archiving Software <http://www.eprints.org/> Provides open source software for self-archiving research, as well as running CiteBase and OpCit projects on improving online services such as reference linking. <<...OLE_Obj...>> You may also find The Scientist, the fortnightly journal for life scientists published by Eugene Garfield, useful. The Scientist includes a section called "Open Access Now". <www.the-scientist.com> Arun
