Lawrence Lessig, Let a Thousand Googles Bloom, Los Angeles Times, January 12, 2005. Lessig points out that much of the material Google would scan may be protected by copyright, which suggests necessary reforms to copyright law to enable such projects. (Source: Diglet)

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.
