Presentations from the VALA (formerly the Victorian Association for Library Automation) 2008 conference (February 5-7, Melbourne, Australia) are now available online. (Thanks to Charles Bailey.) Many are OA-related. Session topics include: Library 2.0, Repositories, Publishing, and Intellectual Property.

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.
