Brock Read, AskERIC Finds a New Home, Chronicle of Higher Education, January 16, 2004 (accessible only to subscribers). Excerpt: "A popular [free] online repository for educational data and advice has found a new home [at the University of Syracuse's Information Institute] after the U.S. Department of Education discontinued it in December....'We're very disappointed that the Department of Education actively stopped AskERIC,' said R. David Lankes, the director of AskERIC and the new project. 'But we think we can build a good infrastructure to keep the project alive.'"

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.
