EuroTrip '08 - Trieste, the Open Access panel

By clock on April 18, 2008.

Here are, quickly for now, some pictures from the yesterday's panel "Open Access; let's do it: top down, bottom up or both?" Stevan Harnad did his presentation first via Skype (from Montreal) which was, unfortunately, not recorded. The rest of the session was recorded and at some time in the future will become available online - I will let you know when this happens.

Since most of the panel discussed institutional library repositories, I felt I needed to focus entirely on the "other Open Access", i.e., the OA journals, especially PLoS. More later....(also it seems that the wifi at the hotel is working better today).

The first picture is of the empty room - I forgot to take the "after" picture of the full room, but believe me it was:
