Sane Bhagyashree and Gole Bhakti, Mahitichi mukta upalabdhata, Sakaal, October 14, 2008; self-archived November 13, 2008. (In Marathi.) English abstract:
14th October is celebrated as first "Open Access Day". The article explains what is open access and how it affects users and libraries.
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.
