On March 10, the ARCL will host a free webcast conversation between Clifford Lynch and Michael Keller. From the ACRL site: 'This free Webcast features a real-time conversation between Clifford A. Lynch, executive director, Coalition for Networked Information, and Michael A. Keller, university librarian, director of academic information resources, publisher of HighWire Press and publisher of the Stanford University Press, at Stanford University. The live Webcast will be held on Thursday, March 10, 2005, at 1 p.m. EST. Lynch and Keller will discuss issues that keep librarians up at night including: googlization, digital repositories, distance education and privacy. The participants will have the opportunity to query Keller and Lynch. Lynn Silipigni Connaway, consulting research scientist, Office of Research, OCLC, Inc., will moderate the session....The March 10 event is free, but registration is required.'

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.
