The proceedings from the conference, Open Access to Scientific and Technical Information: State of the Art and Future Trends (Paris, January 23-24, 2003) have been published in a special double-issue of Information Services and Use (Vol. 23, Nos. 2-3, 2003). Unfortunately, the journal only offers free online access to the table of contents and abstracts. (Did somebody think this through?) However, the conference web site gives free access to videos of each presentation. (PS: I hope the conference presenters will deposit the full-text of their presentations in their institutional archives or at least put them on their own web sites.)

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.
