More on the Patriot Act....Daniel de Vise describes for yet more citizens how the Act harms libraries. Quoting Judith Krug, director of the ALA office for intellectual freedom: ''Our rights have been taken away. We're being forced to go against our professional ethics. But the only way to overcome this is to act illegally. It's awful.'' (Thanks to LIS News.)

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.
