Two articles in the current Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science & Technology recap the Digital Archives for Science and Engineering Resources (DASER) Summit which was held in Cambridge, Mass., in November 2003. Michael Leach gives an overview of each of the sessions and Beatrice R. Pulliam focuses on Clifford Lynch's keynote speech in which he asked his audience to consider "what needs to be in place for digitized content in the way of management, dissemination, continuity and preservation."

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.
