I've blogged the fund-raising campaign of the open-access Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy before (here and here). But LIS News just posted a reminder, so I will too. SEP is a first-rate resource, a pioneer of peeer-reviewed OA, and with the help of committed readers, libraries, and other supportive institutions, can be the first OA resource supported by an endowment. Read the fund-raising web site for more details. (PS: I have no connection to the SEP except that it's in my field and I'm a regular user.)

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.
