Blackwell Publishing would do well to take a page from HighWire Press and compile a comprehensive, easy to locate listing of free content. HighWire's Free Online Full-text Articles should be considered an industry standard, worthy of emulation.
Since such a resource does not currently exist, I'll share the most recent results of my research at the Blackwell website.

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.
