Charles Bailey blogged a series of videos, titled A Short History of Legal Information Institutes, which were posted to YouTube on May 23, 2008. The three-segment video [1, 2, 3] covers the historical development of open access to legal information.

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.
