Lund University gives its grad students the choice whether to make their dissertation OA. Of the 350 dissertations deposited in the Lund IR in 2008, 152 or 43% are OA. (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)
Update. While exploring the Lund Libraries pages on OA, I found this 10 question quiz. Test yourself. How much do you really know about OA? If you're reading this blog, you ought to pass. But can you get 10 out of 10?

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.
