Hello,

A new blog on the AOASG site – “Lost & found: challenges accessing
government research” has just gone live
http://aoasg.org.au/lost-found-challenges-accessing-government-research/

“While there’s been much angst about the locking away of academic
literature and sky-high fees for libraries to access academic
journals, what about all the other sources of publicly-funded
material? Why are they also not included in the brave new world of
open access?...”

The story, written by PhD Scholar Belinda Thompson, points out that
issues relating to access to research go well beyond the ivory tower.
The public purse funds a wide array of research outside of university
walls, and much of that is simply invisible.

Have a read.

Danny
