The University of South Carolina has launched GeriatricWeb, a peer-reviewed, open-access database of medical literature on geriatrics. USC built the database with a grant from the National Library of Medicine, which paid for the labor of six people over 18 months. For more background, see Jon Turner's story in the USC student newspaper for March 1.

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.
