| Open Access Principles and Open Access Practice Posted: 11 Nov 2011 05:12 AM PST Open Access Archivangelism, (11 Nov 2011) In 2006, Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM) became the 1st North American University to sign the Berlin Declaration on Open Access. Since then, thirty two more North American Universities have so far followed suit. But not all of the signatories have yet mandated Open Access -- and that's really the only thing that counts. The rest is just apple-pie approbation in principle, until and unless it is put into practice, as spelled out in the Berlin Roadmap (adopted at Berlin 3 at the University of Southampton in 2005). |
| Posted: 10 Nov 2011 12:30 PM PST www.marketwatch.com "New England Biolabs (NEB), in its continuing commitment to open access science, announces Polbase, a new, free and open database covering DNA polymerase biochemistry, genetics and structural biology. Inspired by REBASE (the Restriction Enzyme Database, also developed and maintained by NEB), Polbase summarizes the information that exists in the extensive body of polymerase literature, making it easy for researchers to interrogate and use. Polbase can be accessed at http://polbase.neb.com ...." |
| Why The Internet of Things Will Be Open - Open Enterprise Posted: 10 Nov 2011 12:05 PM PST blogs.computerworlduk.com "One prediction that I feel confident about making is that if the Internet takes off, it will be based on open standards. Even more than the Internet, the Internet of things will have such a huge number of companies involved that it will be impossible for any one of them to impose a proprietary standard. I suspect, too, that alongside open standards, open source will also be hugely important in this area for a couple of reasons...." |

| Leading North American institutions endorse the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge Posted: 10 Nov 2011 10:20 AM PST groups.google.com "Thirty-three research institutions, associations, and foundations in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico have made a commitment to Open Access to research by signing the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities. These top private, public, and non-profit organizations join nearly 300 more from around the world in another clear sign of the growing demand for change in the way scientific and scholarly research results are communicated and maximized. The announcement is made in conjunction with the ninth Berlin conference, at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which opened today....North American signatories now include leading private research institutions (such as Harvard University and Duke University), public research institutions (University of Kansas, University of California-Los Angeles), Canadian research campuses (Concordia University, University of Quebec in Montreal), smaller academic institutions (Oberlin College, Grand Valley State University), non-profit organizations (Alliance for Information Science and Technology Innovation, Science Commons), major library coalitions (SPARC, the Association of Research Libraries, Canadian Library Association), and the Open Society Foundations (architect of the Budapest Open Access Initiative)...." |

| European Commission plans pan-European data portal for 2013 Posted: 10 Nov 2011 08:53 AM PST "A European Commission official laid out Sept. 22 new open-government goals that will facilitate the reuse of public-sector information among member countries. By spring 2012, the commission plans to update its data procedures and open its data resources to the public, and in 2013, the EC hopes to open a pan-European data portal, said EC Vice President Neelie Kroes, while speaking at the OpenForum Europe Summit in Brussels. The EU data portal will federate existing national and regional data portals, and develop such data capabilities where they do not currently exist across the union, said Kroes...." |

| What happens when you tweet an Open Access Paper Posted: 10 Nov 2011 08:20 AM PST Melissa Terras' Blog, (07 Nov 2011) "So a few weeks ago, I tweeted and posted about this paper....I thought it worth revisiting the results of this. Is it worth me digging out the full text, running the gamut with the UCL repository, and trying to spend the time putting my previous research online? Is Open Access a gamble that pays - and if so, in what way? Prior to me blogging and tweeting about the paper, it got downloaded twice (not by me). The day I tweeted and blogged it, it immediately got 140 downloads...." |
| Posted: 10 Nov 2011 08:18 AM PST Melissa Terras' Blog, (07 Nov 2011) "The people at UCL Discovery are now talking to me, and things are moving forward. I have lots of things ready to go and in the pipeline - which gives me, I reckon, at least one thing to talk about a week on here for the next academic year. I'm also feeding back usability issues to them (like, NO, dont delete the conference paper just because I published a paper in a journal with the same title! YES thats me in that record, even though my name isn't capitalised. NO, Melody Terras who works in Social Sciences at the University of the West of Scotland IS NOT ME)...." |

The Australian Government and some State and Territory governments have undertaken a range of reforms that will increase the accessibility of their information.
