Library Journal has posted a free podcast, Open Libraries Episode 1, in which Karen Coombs, Melissa Rethlefsen, and Dorothea Salo talk about different aspects of open libraries. The hour-long podcast, moderated by Jay Datema, covers 27 mini-conversations, three of which are explicitly about OA and several others are about institutional repositories. The web page includes a timeline to help you find the segments of interest.

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.
