@mykelem @drchuck @umsi You need to keep up with the times, @drchuck!

@drchuck @umsi @jmmason I’d say a cross btwn Alan Rickman and a slim James Gandolfini.

Back in 2011, I challenged my @UMSI #SI502 students to study extra hard for the mid-term. I told them if everyone got a perfect score, I would dye my hair to look like @jmmason - this was the result.

White House changes open access requirement for federally-funded research: immediate (zero day embargo) access will be required henceforth. Huge victory for open access: will dramatically accelerate efforts to convert all scholarly publishing to OA ow.ly/eLqG50KsvQA

@RickyPo @samoore_ @StephenEglen We have 15 open access publisher agreements. In 14.5 of them, the Library covers full fee if author doesn't have sufficient funds - Nature titles are only exception. We provide all details osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/for-authors/pu…

@samoore_ @StephenEglen Plus: The California system often will pay those additional costs for authors who lack the necessary funds, said Jeff MacKie-Mason, professor of economics and university librarian at the University of California, Berkeley. Details would help. How often is often and when? @jmmason
