Walt Crawford, OpenURL Meets Open Access, American Libraries, February 2004. On an OpenURL resolver built by Giles Caron, library director at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi. Caron's resolver offers to check OAI harvesters in addition to the library's licensed holdings. Walt is right that this makes OA literature in OAI archives more visible and accessible to student researchers who might not know to try OAIster or myOAI.

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.
