From a Sirsi Corporationpress release (January 10, 2005): 'Sirsi Corporation announced today that the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom has launched Sirsi ResolverTM to integrate access to all university electronic resources. Sirsi Resolver uses the most powerful OpenURL reference linking technology available today to maximize investments in e-resources by bringing users together with the resources they need. With Sirsi Resolver, libraries can completely integrate all the information resources that are available to users – regardless of where those resources are maintained. "Until now, users wanting to use electronic journals have had to look at a number of services in turn to find out which best met their needs," said Christine Fyfe, university librarian. "In 2004, however, the University of Leicester Library implemented a powerful new system from Sirsi, which allows users to locate electronic versions of more than 10,000 journals with ease." '

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.
