On Open Access Day, Brazil's Centro de Estudos em "Design de Sistemas Virtuais Centrado no Usuário" (CEDUS) launched Univerciencia.org, a portal of OA journals in the field of communications.
Univerciencia supports navigation in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and Italian, and when it launched offered access to 121 issues of 17 Brazilian and Portuguese journals, representing 1813 documents and 1597 authors. Also see the announcement.

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.
