What do y'all think of this idea, a full-text index to the content of open access journals? The phrase "open access journals" seems to be gaining popularity to denote freely available scholarly journal content. There is a directory of such content in the Directory of Open Access Journals: http://www.doaj.org/ What if someone, like us, were to mirror and/or crawl the content of these open access journals and index the content. Wouldn't that begin to demonstrate to the scholarly community that if they publish in these titles, then access to them will be assured? Wouldn't such a project increase access to these titles, and help improve scholarly communication? -- Eric Lease Morgan University Libraries of Notre Dame (574) 631-8604
