Open Access Mandates and the “Fair Dealing” Button
“We describe the “Fair Dealing Button,” a feature designed for authors who have deposited their papers in an Open Access Institutional Repository but have deposited them as “Closed Access” (meaning only the metadata are visible and retrievable, not the full eprint) rather than Open Access. The Button allows individual users to request and authors to provide a single eprint via semi-automated email. The purpose of the Button is to tide over research usage needs during any publisher embargo on Open Access and, more importantly, to make it possible for institutions to adopt the “Immediate-Deposit/Optional-Access” Mandate, without exceptions or opt-outs, instead of a mandate that allows delayed deposit or deposit waivers, depending on publisher permissions or embargoes (or no mandate at all). This is only “Almost-Open Access,” but in facilitating exception-free immediate-deposit mandates it will accelerate the advent of universal Open Access.”

Réussir l’école numérique – Rapport de la mission parlementaire de Jean-Michel Fourgous, député des Yvelines, sur la modernisation de l’école par le numérique
“Selon une enquête de la Commission européenne parue en 2006, la France arrive en 21ème position sur les 27 pays membres de l’Union européenne en ce qui concerne l’utilisation des ordinateurs en classe. Alors que tous les secteurs ont intégré le numérique et que la “fracture numérique matérielle” a été divisée par deux depuis 2000, les établissements scolaires accusent toujours un retard dans l’utilisation des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC).”
