More on CIPA....I used to think that libraries that relinquished federal funds in order to escape the CIPA filtering requirements were engaged in heroic self-sacrifice. However, the AP reported yesterday that for some libraries, the costs of installing filters exceeds the funding they receive from the federal government. For these lucky libraries, freedom and funding lie on the same path. Check to see whether your library is equally lucky. (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.
