[Oa-italia] Fwd: [BOAI] 3 libri pubblicati sull'OA

[Paola Gargiulo]

Mi scuso con chi riceve il messaggio piu' volte.

Vi inoltro il messaggio inviato al Forum BOAI e che e' stato inoltrato a 
diverse liste a proposito dei libri sull'OA che sono usciti di recente 
quasi in contemporanea.  Oltre a quello dell'UNESCO- CommissioneUNESCO 
della Germania, il secondo e' pubblicato dall'ICTP di Trieste insieme 
con il CERN ed il terzo da Kylie Pappalardo della Queensland 
Technoological University in Australia e molto attiva sull'OA. Sono 
tutti accessibili.

> The book is a compendium of selected literature on Open Access, both

> effort to guide the scientific community on the requirements of Open 
> Access, and the plethora of low-cost solutions available. The book

> Archives to make their own scientific results public and fully 
> searchable on the Internet. Discussions on open publishing via 
> Academic Webcasting are also included.

> The book is an effort by ICTP-SDU (Italy) in collaboration with CERN
