The SHared Access Research Ecosystem (SHARE)--a joint initiative of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Association of American Universities (AAU), and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU)--today released<http://www.arl.org/news/arl-news/3117-share-releases-notification-system-project-plan>the SHARE Notification System Project Plan (PDF)<http://www.arl.org/storage/documents/publications/share-notification-system-project-plan.pdf>. This plan describes a first step for SHARE, one that would increase our awareness of research output emerging from our universities and other research centers. Making this notification system a reality will be the work of an open source development project, so you can expect to hear more about this in the coming weeks and months. For more information about the project, visit the SHARE webpage<http://www.arl.org/focus-areas/public-access-policies/shared-access-research-ecosystem-share>or follow SHARE on Twitter <https://twitter.com/SHARE_research>. And, yes, for those of you keeping track, this is the more formal announcement of the same plan that I accidentally broadcast to C4L last week. As I said last week, I'd love any feedback you may have. Thanks, ...Eric Eric Celeste / [log in to unmask] / 651-323-2009
