The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is exposing its free onlinle abstracts to the Google crawler for indexing. This will include abstracts from the 120 IEEE journals, 300 annual conferences, and 900 technical standards. Full-text is still pay-per-view.

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.
