Feel like a good-news open access story?

There is a fantastic project happening in Australia through Engineers
Without Borders. Not only is their new journal open access but they
have thought about all aspects of accessibility – from providing
understandable short summaries of technical papers to translating them
into the languages needed in the field, considering internet
connection availability and providing accessible versions for people
with disabilities.

This is genuine open access in action, and it should be celebrated!

The AOASG  blog "Accessibility is more than making the paper OA" is
available now -
http://aoasg.org.au/2013/07/02/accessibility-is-more-than-making-the-paper-oa/

Have a read and pass it on. There are lessons here for all publishers,
big and small.
