The first session of oral evidence in the UK inquiry into journal prices and availability will be March 1, when the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee will hear from Blackwell, Nature, Wiley, and Elsevier. The next week, March 8, it will hear from the Institute of Physics, ALPSP, Oxford, Axiope, PLoS, and BMC. For more detail, see the committee's online schedule, which includes instructions for members of the public wishing to attend. (Thanks to David Prosser.)

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.
