I just mailed the November issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. In addition to the usual round-up of news and bibliography from the past month, it has pieces on the _PLoS Biology_ launch, the Berlin Declaration on Open Access, the Elsevier stock warnings from BNP Paribas and Citigroup Smith Barney, the AGORA and Ptolemy projects for creating open access in developing countries, the objection that OA journal processing fees exclude the poor, and the question whether trade embargoes should apply to scholarship.
