Today's issue of Library Journal has two stories on the continuing struggle between academic libraries and Elsevier: one on the UC-Elsevier contract, which cancels around 200 journals, and the other on the decision by the four universities in the North Carolina Triangle Research Library Network not to renew ElsevierScience, with the effect of cancelling around 1,300 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.
