Probably, but my time is short. I have just been co-opted on to the EIUG committee. I'll be resigning from the CILIP ISG to make room.
Coincidentally, the EIUG may be meeting in London on the 22nd, which would allow me to go to this and save some time. But it might be the following week, dates not confirmed.
Colin.

it!:
UKSG Seminar - Tuesday 23 November, London
Scientific Publications: Free for all?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The much-anticipated report of the House of Commons Science and Technology
Committee on scientific publications appeared in July to intense industry
and media debate. The Committee's conclusions and recommendations are
far-reaching and embrace publishing models, pricing, peer review,
institutional repositories, digital preservation, library budgets and more.
The UKSG is bringing together senior figures from the Science and Technology
Committee and the world of publishing and libraries to debate the issues
raised by the report from a range of viewpoints. Dr Ian Gibson MP, the
Committee's Chair, will deliver the opening presentation, setting the scene
for other eminent speakers, many of whom were witnesses to the inquiry.
Fytton Rowland will chair the day and summarise the proceedings at the end
of each session.
This UKSG seminar is key to all players in the serials world. As busy
professionals, the day will help you digest and interpret the inquiry's 82
conclusions and recommendations, so you will come away with a clear view of
the report's implications for you.
