The Indiana University at Bloomington Faculty Council adopted a resolution yesterday encouraging faculty to support affordable and open-access journals. So far I have only the scanty details in Chris Freiberg, Council approves code revisions, Indiana Digital Student News, March 3, 2004. If anyone has the text of the resolution, please send me a copy.

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.
