VuFind is an open-source alternative to a conventional library OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog). One nice feature is that it integrates the library's usual holdings with the contents of the institutional repository. (Thanks to the DSpace Foundation.)

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.
