Scirus has updated its toolbar. From yesterday's press release: 'Elsevier announced today that its free science-specific search engine, Scirus, has introduced a new version of its downloadable toolbar. The toolbar includes indispensable new functionalities for finding scientific information on the Web, and enables users to search directly on Scirus or through Scirus Web Sources and/or Journal Sources, from anywhere on the Internet. Scirus' new functionalities include: ...[4] Submit Web Site: Allows users to inform the Scirus Team if they have found interesting Web sites to add to the index. [5] Word Finder: Indicates the words searched on a page and makes it easier for the user to find the specific terms.' (PS: Scirus provides free full-text searching for much non-OA literature, such as the Elsevier corpus, but also for much OA literature, such as the content of Medline, BioMed Central, and arXiv.)

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.
