William Walsh has blogged a lengthy passage on OA from Yochai Benkler's new book, Wealth of Networks (chapter 9, pp. 323-326) --more germane to OA than the passage I blogged 10 days ago. It's too long to repost it here, but I encourage you to surf over for a look.

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.
