From: Ann Shumelda Okerson <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2018 13:36:14 -0400 "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." [SNIP] https://libraries.mit.edu/news/royal-society-chemistry-3/27769/
