The Spring issue of Walt Crawford's Cites & Insights is now online. In this issue Walt digests a good number of articles on the Open Content Alliance and Google Book Search, and a few others on Google Scholar, Open J-Gate, and OA itself. Most have appeared here in OAN, but not with his comments.

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.
