I just mailed the March issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. This issue takes a close look at the new OA mandate adopted by a unanimous vote of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The round-up section briefly notes 109 OA developments from February.
Update. I'm having trouble getting the email edition out to all subscribers, and unfortunately I may have to leave town before I can solve this problem. If I do, remember that the web edition is online and unaffected.

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.
