The October 2008 issue of Computers in Libraries, a theme issue on digitization, is now available. (Thanks to Fabrizio Tinti.) Articles that seem relevant (for articles with no link, not even an abstract is available, at least so far):
Jennifer Weintraub and Melissa Wisner, Mass Digitization at Yale University Library: Exposing the Treasures in Our Stacks

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.
