Johns Hopkins University has a Scholarly Communications Group (mainly of university librarians) and they have set up a concise and navigable resource on scholarly publishing issues, including resources for authors, a listing of university policies (both at JHU and other institutions) and organizations that help, a catalog of alternative publishing models, a bibliography, and a news page.

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.
