Take Action

• Scholarly Publishing Roundtable Formed
  
  The House Science and Technology Committee created a scholarly publishing roundtable last June, which it charged with developing recommendations for government policies promoting public access to the results of federally funded research. Members of the roungtable include representatives from university, library, publisher, and research communities. The roundtable, which held meetings over the summer, expects to submit a report to the Committee and to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy later this fall. The report will be distributed broadly among key stakeholder groups. The status report, the list of Roundtable members, member bios, and the House Science and Technology Committee's charge to the group are available at: http://www.aau.edu/policy/scholarly.aspx?id=6894
