Hindawi Publishing Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of its Open Access Institutional Membership program, which will enable authors from member institutes to publish their work in Hindawi's 125+ open access journals without having to administer and pay any Article Processing Charges from their individual research budgets. ...
Hindawi's membership program is based on a flat rate payment that covers all accepted articles that are submitted by an author from a member institute during the period of the membership. The cost of the membership depends on the level of research output of the institute and their historical publishing pattern in Hindawi journals. Anyone who would like to receive a quotation for their institute can do so by contacting memberships@hindawi.com.
In order to help universities and other research organizations judge the level of participation of their researchers in Hindawi journals (whether as authors, editors, or reviewers), Hindawi has created institutional profile pages to showcase the output of an organization. The institutional web page of a particular institute can be accessed using a URL of the form "http://www.hindawi.com/institutions/domain/," where "domain" is the domain name of the particular institution. For example, the institutional web page for the University of California, Los Angeles is located at http://www.hindawi.com/institutions/ucla.edu/.
In addition to the 125+ open access journals that Hindawi currently publishes, this membership will include any journal that is added to Hindawi's collection during the term of the membership.

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.
