Go-Geo!, the JISC-funded OA database of geospatial data, has been updated.
... Our new international gateway is available via a link from the home page to other international geoportals. Alternatively, browse records describing international geospatial data created by UK academics.
My Go-Geo! now allows registered users of the service to bookmark their favourite web resources, manage their metadata news subscriptions and directly access all metadata records listed within their private institutional nodes.
The metadata editor tool has a new name – GeoDoc – and an easily recognisable logo. To complement our new international gateway, users can now use GeoDoc to document their international geospatial datasets. ...
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.
