I've been out of the country for a week, and Gavin has had connectivity troubles from a recent move and Hurricane Fay. We're starting to catch up now. Some items of recent news have already been well-reported elsewhere, but we'll blog them anyway if only to keep the OAN archive useful for later searching. Please bear with us as we work through our backlog.

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.
