House Backs Taxpayer-Funded Research Access
Press release from The Alliance for Taxpayer Access:
Washington, D.C. – July 20, 2007 – In what advocates hailed as a major advance for scientific communication, the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday approved a measure directing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide free public online access to agency-funded research findings within 12 months of their publication in a peer-reviewed journal. With broad bipartisan support, the House passed the provision as part of the FY2008 Labor, HHS, and Education Appropriations Bill.

Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering & Computer Science
We now have access to the Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering & Computer Science published by Morgan & Claypool. This is a collection of electronic books that "synthesize important research or development topics" in the fields of computer science & engineering. These books could serve as good starting points for students or researchers wanting to get some background information about or to become familiar with a particular area of research.
Synthesis is available in metaLINK under the various engineering subject areas.
For further information, please contact Alesia McManus
