JISC has put the first draft of its strategy online for public comment. JISC officials will discuss the comments at a November meeting and hope to release a final version by January 2004. Part of the strategy is a list of 30 policy objectives, of which #9 is "[t]o provide access to online resources (content) as broadly and widely as possible for all learners and researchers." Several of the other objectives are OA-related as well.

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.
