Helen Clarke reports that Statistics Canada is moving from a TA model to an OA model for its electronic publications. To recover its print costs, it will still charge for its print publications. The transition should be complete by April 24, 2006. Clarke quotes from an SC memo that I can't find at the SC web site.

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.
