Dear Alice, I've used the JISC license to publish twice in the last year when asked to sign a "consent to publish" copyright transfer agreement. Both times it was for a poster summary published as proceedings in a conference - ECDL 2007 and DCC 2007. Both times it was a Springer publication, Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Neither time did they contact me at all. I've seen the proceedings to the first; not sure when the second is coming out. cheers, -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robin Rice Data Librarian EDINA & Edinburgh University Data Library [log in to unmask] 0131 651 1431 (M, W, F) 0131 651 1317 (T, Th) http://datalib.ed.ac.uk/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
