Tom Hogan Sr., The Fall 2004 ASIDIC Meeting, Information Today, November 2004. Hogan summarizes the remarks of three speakers, David Worlock, Henry Hagedorn, and John Regazzi, from the ASIDIC fall meeting, Open Access: Removing the Barriers (Phoenix, September 19-21). Quoting Hagedorn: "The commercial publisher has entangled the editor in a Faustian bargain where the editor induces the author to sell her soul (copyright) to the publisher in exchange for tenure...We believe it is time to consider the cost of publication to be part of the cost of sponsoring research by both the academic institution and the granting agencies." (Thanks to Jim Campbell.)

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.
