I just finished answering a series of very good questions for the Chronicle of Higher Education's online colloquy on open access. The transcript is online and open to non-subscribers. I thank Lila Guterman and the Chronicle for setting this up and inviting me to be the guest. I thank all the readers who sent in questions and apologize to all whose questions didn't fit into the hour.

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.
