Sara Kjellberg has sent out an update on the Lund Directory of Open Access Journals. The DOAJ now allows anyone to download all the directory records in comma-separated format. It also allows any OAI-compliant data service to harvest the directory metadata. The directory now offers a useful list of all its titles and has started work on Phase 2 of its construction, in which it will offer full-text searching of articles, not just searching of information about participating journals.

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.
