The link in yesterday's posting on the Elsevier written testimony is already dead. Apparently the testimony was removed from the Elsevier site at the request of the House of Commons. However, another copy is still online at the Reed Elsevier site. But it may not be there long. (Thanks to Jan Velterop.) (PS: The House of Commons is asking witnesses to refrain from posting their testimony online until at least March 1. After that, we should expect to see most of the submissions. I'll post URLs here as I learn them.)

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.
