Edward Pentz, Recent developments at CrossRef, Interlending & Document Supply, 32, 3 (2004) pp. 183-185. Only this abstract is online, at least so far: "Provides an update on the latest CrossRef developments. CrossRef is now four years old and has reached critical mass in terms of members, digital object identifiers (DOIs) deposited and use of DOIs in reference links in scholarly journals. CrossRef has changed its fees over the last year and is implementing new services to ensure that DOIs are widely disseminated and used to improve access to content to end-user scientists and researchers." (PS: Among the most exciting recent developments is CrossRef Search, the Google-powered OA-searchable index of CrossRef journals. I can't tell whether Pentz discusses CrossRef Search in the present article, because I don't have access, but he does discuss it here.)

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.
