This note explains the importance and scope that holds for developing countries the movement called "Open Archives Initiative." The author mentions a project currently in the Biblioteca Manuel Belgrano de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Argentina). A summary of this note was published in a newspaper widely recognized and trajectory of the city of Córdoba (Argentina), La Voz del Interior. The purpose of this communication in the newspaper is that society knows the changes that are occurring in the system of scientific communication.

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.
