Steve Aftergood, The Age of Missing Information, Slate, March 17, 2005. Aftergood details how under the Bush administration "government agencies have restricted access to unclassified information in libraries, archives, Web sites, and official databases." He provides several examples such as the removal of the Los Alamos National Laboratory Technical Report Library, omission of records from the National Archives and others. (Source: Library Juice)

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.
