The October issue of Walt Crawford's Cites & Insights is now online. The OA-related pieces in this issue are (1) a lengthy review of Wikipedia, with special attention to the effectiveness of its communal form of peer review, and (2) a section on Copyright Currents looking at the INDUCE act, the database bill, the DMCRA, the Grokster decision, DRM, and broadcast flags.

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.
