...Another challenge we successfully tackled [in 2006] was to expand access to open access journals. EBSCO's databases are academia's most used for-fee online research tools, so it is our responsibility to help give exposure to open access journals. Our products now include many of these sources, offering them more exposure than was ever before possible. It was a time consuming project, but now we offer indexing for the best of these journals in our subject-specific research databases and we are set up to add good journals as they become available in the future....

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.
