NISO has published the Summer 2014 issue of Information Standards
Quarterly (ISQ) in open access on their website at:

http://www.niso.org/publications/isq/2014/v26no2/

This is a themed issue on the topic of Open Access Infrastructure.
2013 seemed to have been a watershed for open access. Driven by a
number of policy announcements from funding bodies and governments
worldwide, the question is no longer whether open access will or
should happen, but rather how will it be implemented in a sustainable
way. The articles in this issue contain a wealth of insights from a
wide variety of viewpoints—publishers, funders, universities,
intermediaries, standards bodies, and open access experts about we are
today, what the challenges are, available routes to overcoming those
challenges, and some of the initiatives that have been put in place to
overcome these challenges.
