Harvard faculty votes to post research online

"Harvard University's arts and science faculty voted unanimously yesterday to post their scholarly articles and research online, where they would be available for free to the public, despite concerns that the move would affect the quality of research." - full story from the Boston Globe.

Some interesting quotes in the article, like this one from a VP at the Association of American Publishers, "This is a vendor-customer dispute over price," Adler said. "It doesn't surprise us that all libraries feel their budgets are far less than desirable, but that's a reality the educational community faces."
