Today's issue of the Times Higher Education Supplement has a story, Archive site takes off, on SHERPA, its new partners, and its work on behalf of eprint archiving. But two problems: the story is accessible only to subscribers and it mistakenly identifies SHERPA as an Open Access Service Provider. SHERPA is running a brief correction on its web site, which JISC repeats and amplifies a bit on its own site. (Thanks in part to Gary Price.)

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.
