The November issue of Walt Crawford's Cites & Insights is now online. This issue has a long section on Library Access to Scholarship, commenting on the NIH OA plan and several recent articles for and against OA, including some of mine. Walt, an OA-independent, finds some of the recent anti-OA screeds deceptive and intemperate, some bordering on deliberate misrepresentation.

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.
