More JISC funding for society journals moving to OA

JISC has launched a new funding program, Open Access Publishing: Round 3. From the web site: 'This Invitation To Tender invites proposals from cross-disciplinary publishers or learned societies looking to move to an open access model for their journal(s). Proposals from groups or consortia are welcome. JISC will award short term funding to a small number of publishers or learned societies who agree to waive open access submission and publication fees for UK Higher Education (HE) staff for a one-year period. There is funding of £150,000 available to support this Initiative in the 2005-06 Academic Year (1 August 2005 – 31 July 2006).'
