Berlin is a Declaration of principle. The next step is to put it into
practice, which UQaM is likewise preparing to do shortly, by relaunching its
Institutional Repository (version: http://eprints2.uqam.ca/ ) and it will
soon be registering its institutional commitment in:

    http://www.eprints.org/openaccess/policysignup/
    http://www.eprints.org/openaccess/policysignup/sign.php
    http://www.unites.uqam.ca/cnc/declaration.fr.html

The rest of laggard North America is encouraged to hurry and follow
suit: Europe is so far way ahead on this!
