The act is still law and the controversy about it hasn't disappeared just because the Supreme Court upheld its constitutionality last year. David Rothman recommends that Democrats ask the primary candidates to take a stand on reversing the act. In a note to a Democrat listserv in Virginia, he describes his attempt to persuade Sen. John Edwards to do so, and urges other Democrats to borrow or adapt his strategy with other candidates. (Thanks to LIS News.)

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.
