University Scholarly Knowledge Inventory System (U-SKIS) is free and open source software developed at the University of Utah. U-SKIS "tracks .pdf files, records communication, and provides publisher's archiving policies to determine what may be added to institutional repositories." Version 1.0 was released on February 22.

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.
