I just mailed the February issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. In addition to the usual round-up of news and bibliography from the past month, it offers some predictions for open-access developments in 2004 and looks at the reasons why open access is progressing more slowly in the humanities than the natural sciences.

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.
