We have a project on our campus, but it's been driven and managed by
one of our researchers - who was working on it before he came here -
with the library in an occasional support role. He's crawling for
references to DNA sequences and incorporating them into our genome
browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu/) so researchers viewing segments of
the genome can more easily find articles about the segments they're
interested in.

I don't know if this will come as a surprise to many of you, but it
never occurred to him to contact the library regarding his issues with
publishers, at least not until very late in the process. We heard
about what he was doing through an article in Nature and then we
contacted him.

The URL for the project, including tracking the progress of dealing
with publishers, is:  http://text.soe.ucsc.edu/

And here's the Nature piece about their experience with publishers:
