Younger does say that a new policy is needed, but that OCLC should start over in developing one. She acknowledges concerns about increased control of the WorldCat data, but doesn't call for OA either, stating that it may be necessary to prohibit "unreasonable" uses of WorldCat to ensure the fiscal sustainability of the service.

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.
