The current "snap poll" on the front page of Information Today (bottom of righthand sidebar) asks this question: "Given recent developments and all the discussion of Open Access lately (read more), does your organization already support or plan to implement self-archiving of publications?" When I checked just now, the tally was 69% yes, 31% no.

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.
