Open Access: A New Model of Scholarly Publishing, Currents, v.5, no.2 (Winter 2004). The Biomedical and Medical Center Libraries at the University of California San Diego present a summary of open access issues in their newsletter, particularly as these affect the UCSD community; a graphic documents precipitous rise in selected titles held by the biomedical library. The UCSD libraries have also set up an extensive website on open access, including an FAQ, a directory of current initiatives and projects, and a bibliography.

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.
