Abstract: This paper discusses the blogging phenomenon from
an information access point of view. We examine blogs as a source
of knowledge, analyzing the properties which make them unique
as a data collection. We outline information analysis tasks aimed
at blogs, and discuss how the properties of blogs are used in this
context; finally, we point out some of the main aims of current
computational blog research.

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.
