OCLC is sponsoring a contest for the best new piece of software to do "something interesting and innovative" with WorldCat data and OCLC library services. The prize is $2,500 cash, a visit to OCLC, and the possibility that OCLC will incorporate your code into its library services.

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.
