The publication, Science, People & Politics, is committed
to remaining freely and easily accessible when at a computer, so reading will not lead to a need for passwords and user
names. One option is to sell access to Science, People & Politics one month before it becomes freely accessible
in perpetuity to everyone.

depositing their product?
As a publisher I support legal deposit, but would like the British Library to say, without any input from any non software
publisher, if there are any symbols which need to be excluded from electronic legal deposits because those symbols might be
incompatible with retrieval, search or storage software, and to do so without indirectly betraying any software publishing
trade secrets to other software publishers, and for the British Library to clarify if it has any requirements for images, or
adverts appearing on a url, when that advert might bridge issues.
ADVERTS:
Once taken off line adverts will be listed, and the time span for which they were on line and their location/s on line at the
host website will be indexed. Ads sold by google, and displayed on the pages on this site as part of the google ad sense
programme, will not be listed on the page for ADVERTISERS.
I (Helen Gavaghan) am rethinking whether or not all online publications published by GavaghanCommunications will remain
openly accessible in the same manner that applies to Science, People & Politics. One option would be that one
could allow, say, 10 items to be free, and charge for access to anyone wanting to read more than 10 items for free in any one
week. |
