Klaus Graf reports (in German) on a Paris conference on the obstacles —from lack of fair use to high museum prices— faced by art historians who wish to use images in their publications. See the conference announcement, which links to relevant articles from the right sidebar, and a report summarizing the discussion (both in French).

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.
