In October, ACRL, ARL, SPARC, and SPARC Europe updated the Create Change web site and brochure, both already among the most effective tools for educating faculty and librarians about the serials crisis and the best options for overcoming it. The brochure text is free online for institutions that want to customize it for their own circumstances. Print copies are available for a low price. The web site and brochure are available in English, Japanese, and Catalan.

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.
