More than 200 sites around the globe will mark Open Access Week 2009,
October 19-23, by sharing events and resources to raise awareness
about the concept of Open Access—the idea that all research should be
freely accessible online, immediately after publication. To show your
support, and to find information on worldwide activities please visit http://openaccessweek.org

To celebrate Open Access Week, DuraSpace, which provides open
technologies for durable digital content, has released a package of
