Virginia A. Lingle, Judith C. Wilkerson, eJOURNALS FORUM: Oklahoma Libraries Promote Open Access as a Publishing Model for Authors at Health Science Centers with a Multi-Site Symposium, Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries, 2, 1 (2005). Only this abstract is free online, at least so far: 'In the spring of 2004, a videoconference was held at the University of Oklahoma to discuss various issues related to open-access publishing. Invited participants included librarians, researchers who have published in open-access journals, several open-access publishers, and the editor of an open-access journal. A summary of the discussions is presented that outlines some of the key issues related to open-access publishing from various viewpoints.'

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.
