Earlier this month, we blogged a call by Brian Kenney for OA to journals published by the American Library Association. In the comments on Kenney's article, Leonard Kniffel, editor in chief of the ALA journal American Libraries, reports that that journal will convert to OA this fall. (Thanks to Bryn Samuels.)

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.
