The ShoreViews video for July 6, 2007 (from Shore Communications) contains a section titled, Open Access Scholarly Content Gains Steam. I haven't had time to watch it, so I don't have other details: what the OA segment covers, how long it is, or how far in it begins.

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.
