Some interesting developments on open access from the Canadian Library Association conference:
The CLA Executive has approved a set of recommendations on policy for open access for CLA's own publications. There are some options and final details to be worked out so I can't point to the final policy yet, however, in a nutshell, Feliciter will, in the near future, be freely available after a 1-issue embargo, and CLA authors (whether Feliciter or other CLA publications) will be free to self-archive a copy of their work....

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.
