Melina Fan et al, A Central Repository for Published Plasmids, Science, Vol 307, Issue 5717, 1877 , 25 March 2005. Announces Addgene's efforts to build "a central plasmid repository where scientists can search for and request plasmids online." They say they will act as a clearinghouse, and not only include currently published plasmids but retrospective ones. They call for participation from researchers and publishers.

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.
