The century-old Dyal Singh Trust Library in Punjab "plans to convert its entire collection into a digital form in the near future", apparently for open access. For details, see Amir Nafees, Dyal Singh Library steps into the digital age, Daily Times, July 5, 2004. (Thanks to LIS News.)

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.
