Dear Wilhelmina and others

I would like to point out that Routledge's LIS Author Rights Policy is
a Green OA policy, and authors contributing to The Serials Librarian
are exempt from any embargo period on the post-print version of their
articles. See link for more information:
http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/preparation/lisrights.asp.

There has been no change from this policy with the recent introduction
of the optional Gold OA model, despite suggestions to the contrary.
Any prospective authors and contributors are welcome to contact me, or
my co-editor Andrew, directly for more information, at our shared
email address [log in to unmask]

Many thanks
Louise

Serials Librarian has the exact same terms in the author agreements
that the board of the Journal of Library Administration just resigned
over.
