Daniel Gelaw Alemneh and Samantha Kelly Hastings, Ensuring Universal Access for the Global Information Flow: Responding to the Demands of Scholarship in the Digital Age, a PPT conference presentation. Abstract: 'This presentation was presented in Session 6.4 – Reports of Current Research (Juried Papers), at the 2005 ALISE Conference [Boston, January 11-14, 2005]. It uses 20 slides to summarize current situations and developing trends of information technologies. It raises an important issue in the development – globalization, which emphasizes the efficiency of modern technologies in delivering information to people around the world. Africa is used as a case to illustrate how local policies have played important roles in the process of information globalization.'

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.
