I just mailed the December issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. This issue tells the November chapter of the continuing saga of the OA policy at the NIH, especially the Bush veto, the failure of the House to override it, and prospects for the future. It also offers some predictions for open access in 2008. The round-up section briefly notes 101 OA developments from the past month.

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.
