BioMed Central, Receiving content from BioMed Central and The Scientist as an RSS headline feed. BMC recently announced the availability of RSS feeds for their online journals. This page explains how to get a feed for any BMC journal (e.g. http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmccellbiol/rss) "by adding /rss/ onto the journal URL." They've also included a feed listing the latest articles added to the BMC server, as well as lists of most viewed articles for each title and the BMC platform as a whole. This is another way for users to select content of interest and receive it seamlessly through a desktop news aggregator or web-based news aggregator. Talk about increasing exposure to open-access publications! (Source: The (sci-tech) Library Question)

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.
