I can't cover the network neutrality debate in detail here because news with a more direct OA connection already takes all my time. But I wrote about it in the March issue of my newsletter and argued that compromising net neutrality will cause collateral damage to OA. To follow the news on net neutrality, and fight for the neutrality principle, I strongly recommend Save The Internet, a new and fast-growing coalition of good people and important organizations. Bookmark the web site, join the coalition, read the blog, and (if you're a US citizen) use the action alert to send a message to your Congressional delegation.

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.
