Columbia University is "planning to sign an open-access compact [ed.: presumably COPE] within a few weeks and set aside funds to subsidize fee-based, open-access publications".
The University of California Press and the California Digital Library launched their OA publishing service, UCPubS, as previously announced.
Revues.org's OA and delayed OA journals now include 35 journals from outside metropolitan France, double the number from 18 months ago and representing two additional countries.
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.
