[A2k] Free Thesis Project Released Today

[Elizabeth Stark]

Thought some people on this list mind find this interesting...
------------------------------------
Hi all,

We released our Free Thesis Project site at Harvard today
(http://hcs.harvard.edu/thesis), a site where we encourage seniors to
upload their theses and make them available under CC licenses. We also
published a related op-ed on open access in the Harvard Crimson
(http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=518548).

While our site is currently only open to Harvard students, we're
working on making a version of the software available for other
schools to easily download and install. It's also OAI-complaint, so
that other sites can easily index it. We're hoping to release the
broader project at the National Free Culture Conference at Harvard on
May 26.
