Bernard Rentier, Accès libre, a posting on his blog, May 20, 2006. Rentier is the Rector of the University of Liege. His posting is a succinct introduction (in French) to the irrational scholarly communication system and the OA alternative, with answers to basic questions and objections.
PS: You have to like a rector with a blog, especially one who uses it to defend OA. Kudos to Rentier. Lucky Liege.

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.
