The Universidad Complutense de Madrid has launched a portal to search OA public domain books from its library digitized by Google. According to the page, UCM is the first non-Anglo university to launch a partnership with Google Book Search. (Thanks to BusalBlog.)

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.
