Hi All,

Events are certainly piling up.
While this is happening we should in my opinion not loose sight of the
danger that everybody now starts talking about open access as if it were
one clearly defined item.
I will write a blog today on @ccess site to stress this point.
WRT your suggestion Ross could we send a reaction as @ccess Initiative to
bbc.
This could help to put @ccess on the map and hopefully draw attention to
our ideas on what access is and on the problems that especially   scholarly
poor have
What do you think?

TOM
