The Amedeo Group is a really nice series of sites that tracks free access to medical journals, medical books and provides links to free sources of specific medical information organized by disease/disorder. If you read through the guest book, you can get a feel for what a tremendous problem access to up-to-date medical information is for practitioners in the developing world.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
