Paul Nikkel gives us a preview of a forthcoming OA repository for biblical studies. Excerpt: 'I cannot divulge the full plans right now but what we are working on will be independently funded providing a stable financial base for server and software maintenance as well as yearly digital copies of the repository available to any participating scholar. There are a few more aspects (such as an initial paid position for collecting and converting articles) that should help create critical mass but that's about all I can promise for now as we are working out the last few kinks in funding and other miscellaneous details.' Stay tuned.

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.
