Open letters from Nobel laureates supporting open access

For a listserv post, I just pulled together the five open letters to Congress from Nobel laureates in support of US policies requiring open access to publicly-funded research. Now that I've pulled them together, I thought I'd share the list here as well.

* first letter, August 26, 2004; 25 signatures

* second letter, July 8, 2007; 26 signatures

* third letter, September 9, 2008; 33 signatures
