A short, unsigned note in the December 11 issue of Library Journal succinctly describes what's happening with the ERIC overhaul. For the latest on what the ERIC Clearinghouses will do after they lose federal funding, Kate Corby's page on the clearinghouse plans was updated on December 3.

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.
