Open Students [20]

Submitted by Bora Zivkovic on Tue, 2008-02-05 19:33.

Open Students [21] is a new blog for students about open access to research. It is run by Gavin Baker [22] (who also recently joined Peter Suber at Open Access News [23] - Congratulations!) and sponsored by SPARC [24], the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, as part of its student outreach activities.

The blog will cover the issues of Open Science as it affects the college students [25] and will have frequent guest-bloggers (students, librarians, researchers, publishers...) - of which you can be one if you contact Gavin.
