Dear All,<br>
<br>
<span class="newsKOshortDesc">UNESCO, with the support of Colombia,
Norway and United States of America, is developing a portal on Open
Access (OA) to present a high-level snapshot of the state of OA around
the world. Entitled Global Open Access Portal (GOAP), the tool is
supposed to be the first destination for users seeking information on
OA. <br>
<br>
</span><span class="newsKOlongDesc">UNESCO is soliciting the interest of
individual experts and institutions working on Open Access to serve as
short-term consultants to provide content from the five regions: Africa,
Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and North America, and Latin
America and the Caribbean.</span><br clear="all">
