Alma Swan has prepared an OA advocacy checklist for research libraries for the Digital Libraries à la Carte conference (Tilburg, The Netherlands, July 28-August 5, 2009). The 2-page document includes bulleted lists of suggestions like "Add DOAJ content to your library catalogue", "Demonstrate how to deposit [in a repository]", and "Make the case for a mandatory policy".

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.
