New report reveals open access could reduce cost of scientific publishing by up to 30 per cent
From the announcement, "A report out today shows that making scientific research available free on the Internet could wipe as much as 30 per cent off publishing costs. The Wellcome Trust report shows for the first time that the open access model of scientific publishing - where the author of a research paper pays for peer reviewed research to be made available on the web free to all who wish to use it - is economically viable, guarantees high quality research and is a sustainable option which could revolutionise the world of traditional scientific publishing."

Handbook of Federal Librarianship (PDF; 724 KB)
"The Federal Librarians Handbook is written for professional librarians and is therefore not intended as a manual to instruct you on how to be a librarian. Instead it focuses on the federal angle of otherwise standard practices and procedures of good librarianship. A topic was omitted if it was determined not to have anything uniquely federal about it. An exception was made for the chapter on copyright because it remains a challenging and continuously developing topic for all librarians.... We have made a concerted effort not to reinvent the wheel by duplicating what is already available elsewhere.... Therefore, this handbook provides only brief treatment of the main points of a topic with many hypertext links to Web sites for detail coverage and references to print publications.... An additional comprehensive listing with even more hypertext links and complete bibliographic citations to print publications is provided in the Resources chapter at the end of the handbook."
