I admit I'm a little surprised. I know that OA can help small business owners --see for example the Chamber of Commerce support for the OA mandate at the NIH earlier today. But I don't believe I've ever heard from a small business owner about OA, apart from small publishers. If you're a small business owner who benefits from OA research literature, drop me a line. I'd like to hear about what you're doing.

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.
