OCLC has launched ResearchWorks, a guide to the projects currently under way at its research lab, including links to working papers and demos. A good number of the projects facilitate the dissemination, sharing, and discovery of online scholarship. For example, check out the Errol project, which lets you browse the sets, metadata formats, records, and identifiers of all the OAI-compliant archives in the comprehensive UIUC registry.

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.
