"The MIT Libraries and the Royal Society of Chemistry <http://www.rsc.org>
have signed a groundbreaking license agreement that incorporates elements
of a traditional subscription purchase and open access to scholarly
articles. The experimental two-year agreement is seen as an important step
on the path toward making more research freely and openly available to the
world.

"The new agreement combines traditional subscription-based access to Royal
Society of Chemistry articles for the MIT community with immediate open
access to MIT-authored articles, making them freely available to all
audiences at the time of publication. It is the first of its kind among
North American institutions."
