Subject: deadline extended on OSTP calls for comment on open access &
 access to data
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

A few weeks ago I shared information on two calls from the US Office 
of Science and Technology Policy one for  public comment on issues 
related to public access to articles produced as part of federally 
funded research, and the other dealing with a range of  policy issues 
surrounding data produced as as  part of federally funded research. 
Both had early January 2012 deadlines.

I know from conversations at the CNI fall membership meeting and 
other venues over the past few weeks that many CNI member 
institutions and many individuals that are part of the CNI community 
have a keen interest in one or both of these calls for comment.

I just learned that the deadline for comments has been somewhat 
extended, allowing those interested more time to respond to these 
important calls. Here is the full announcement:

My thanks to Prue Adler at the Association of Research Libraries for 
this pointer.

Happy Holidays.
