Revistes catalanes amb Accés Obert (RACO), or Open Access Catalan Journals, is an online repository of scholarly journals from Catalonia. Here users may access a broad range of full-text articles from diverse publications, which may be browsed by subject. These include: philosophy and psychology; religion and theology; social sciences; the arts and entertainment; language, linguistics and literature; and history and geography. Relevant articles may be quickly located using the site's search facility. The site is equally navigable in Spanish, Catalan and English although users should note that some of the journals will be available in Catalan only. New additions to the repository are listed, and users can receive a free email alert when new issues from their chosen journal are published. All in all, this laudable project has created an easy-to-use website and unprecedented access to diverse research.

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.
