Hello to all,
I have looked into LIBRE on their website,
www.openscholar.org.uk/ and it seems to be as yet a vision rather then a practice.
So although there are some pros and cons, I guess we should wait and see whether it takes off.
Greetings for the coming holidays,

Hello Zooarchers,
Lately there is a lot of discussion concerning the morality and efficiency of the current publishing system. This topic is not specific to zooarchaeology but we are nevertheless part of the general research landscape and we are using existing publishing mechanisms for our work. There are more and more voices against the current publishing system and actions are taken to offer alternatives. I am just posting here a short video that (extremely) briefly discusses this issue. This e-mail is just to throw this on the table for colleagues to be aware or think about it as it seems it will become an even bigger issue. The link to the video is below:
