World-Information.Org has published its InfoPaper, an anthology of 18 short articles for delegates to next month's UN-sponsored World Summit on the Information Society. Each article addresses some movement or issue in the free exchange of information. I recommend the entire collection. However, it's a large (1.5 MB), slow-loading PDF without internal anchors to the separate articles. I've prepared a separate, fast-loading HTML edition of my own contribution, Open Access to Science and Scholarship.

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.
