Wednesday's broadcast of NPR's Talk of the Nation focused on the Google library plan and featured guests Michael Keller, head librarian at Stanford, and Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive. The webcast is online.
Update. Tuesday's broadcast of NPR's All Things Considered included a Michele Norris interview with Carol Brey-Casiano, president of the American Library Association, on the Google library project.

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.
