JISC/CNI Meeting 2004


SPARC Europe put together a pre-conference session for the JISC/CNI meeting held in Brighton, UK on 8/9 July 2004. The programme highlighted the main areas of activity for SPARC Europe: engaging policy makers in open access issues, promoting the use of institutional repositories and self-archiving, and open access journals. Speakers from the Wellcome Trust, Glasgow University, and the Public Library of Science gave excellent overviews of these major issues of interest for open access.
