I just mailed the April issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. In addition to the usual round-up of news and bibliography from the past month, it catalogs the recent university actions against high journal prices and reflects on the DC Principles for Free Access to Science.

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.
