10 articles on institutional repositories

The new issue of Reference Services Review (vol. 33, no. 2, 2005) is devoted to relationship between reference librarians and institutional repositories. In most cases, only abstracts are free online, at least so far. (Thanks to Charles W. Bailey, Jr.)

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.
