White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has issued a Request for Information (RFI), inviting individuals and organizations to provide recommendations on approaches for ensuring broad public access to the result of federally funded scientific research. The public input will inform the deliberations of the National Science and Technology Council's Task Force on Public Access to Scholarly Publications. SPARC will provide opportunities for members to discuss this process in the next few weeks. The full text of the RFI can be found at: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-11-04/html/2011-28623.htm
