Eric Lease Morgan attended the recent Symposium on Open Access and Digital Preservation (Atlanta, October 2, 2004), took notes, and posted his notes online. Thanks, Eric! (PS: The presentations themselves are now online at the symposium web site. But for rapid orientation, Eric's notes are more useful than the presentations. In fact, they are so useful that I'm surprised that scholars attendindg conferences don't do this more often.)

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.
