The presentations from the Oxford University retreat, Authors to Readers: Who Are We Serving? How? and How Well? (July 24-26, 2003) are now online. The retreat theme was, "What is the likely shape
of the library of the future? And how do we build collections for it?"

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.
