Oriental Institute and Open Scholarship ::

In the light of the post below on Brill and monographs I was excited to catch up, thanks to Peter Suber's comprehensive Open Access News that the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago is committed to open access publishing. They say:

Starting in 2005, the Oriental Institute is committed to digitizing all of its publications and making them available online, without charge. The minimum for each volume, old and new, current and forthcoming, will be a Portable Document Format (PDF) version following current resolution standards. New publications will appear online at or near the same time they appear in print. Older publications will be processed as time and funding permits.

Great! This is wonderful news, now I wonder how they are funding the initiative... ¶ 8:00 AM [to Del.icio.us]
