Peter Suber, Open Access Builds Momentum, ARL Bimonthly Report 232, February 2004. Adapted from Open access in 2003, which first appeared SOAN for 1/2/04. I thank the Report editors, G. Jaia Barrett and Kaylyn Hipps, for the work of adapting it.

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.
