"Faculty members are scheduled to vote on a measure that would permit
Harvard to distribute their scholarship online, instead of signing
exclusive agreements with scholarly journals that often have tiny
readerships and high subscription costs....
Although the outcome of Tuesday's vote would apply only to Harvard's arts and sciences faculty, the impact, given the university's prestige, could be significant for the open-access movement, which seeks to make scientific and scholarly research available to as many people as possible at no cost."
