[Irtalk] Letter - signing the Berlin Declaration

[Smith, Ina <ismith@sun.ac.za>]

Dear all

We had an enquiry about the wording of a letter to invite a member of an institution to sign the Berlin Declaration. We got this from Anja Stober from Max Planck - it might be useful:
________________________________
As Ina said we ask all institutions which want to sign to give us the details listed under http://www.berlin10.org/call-to-action.html  but we do not send an official invitation to sign.

If you are looking for some phrasing for your email or letter to us you might find this helpful:

"Dear Prof. Gruss,

Understanding the value of open access to the research community, the University of XXX wishes to become a signatory to the Berlin Declaration.

Please find below the data for our institution:

Sign date:
Organisation name:
Organisation type:
Abbreviation:
Person:
Position:
City:
Country:


Yours sincerely,
XX"


You might of course change the wording or add anything you want (e.g. that you already have a repository or an OA policy in place etc.).

Kind regards
Ina
