Thomas C. Terwilliger, Structures and technology for biologists, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology 11, 296-297 (April 2004). (Access restricted to subscribers.) Terwilliger summarizes the benefits of ongoing structural genomics efforts for the biological community. He highlights the International Structural Genomics Organization, a cooperative effort among several research organizations who "have joined together to promote rapid data dissemination and sharing of technologies ... leading the structural biology community in openness and cooperation." While acknowledging the costs of such research efforts, the author sees these being alleviated by data sharing and advances in technology.

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.
