Slashdot has the collection:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/07/25/2317215&mode=thread
Genomeweb has a report
http://www.genomeweb.com/articles/view-article.asp?Article=200172219199
and the "PublicLibararyOfScience" makes its position clear:
http://www.publiclibraryofscience.org/
While it appears some publishers have backed off somewhat
(in response to the PLS petitions and my emails and
telephone complaints (yea right)) there is still a
fundamental reluctance on the part of publishers,
even the non-profit "discipline-focused" groups to make
the information available to the public.
Your tax-dollars pay for most of it and it goes into a black
hole (from your perspective). Logical not!
Robert
