I just mailed the March issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. In addition to the usual round-up of news from the past month, it takes a close look at the final version of the NIH public-access policy (released February 3) and offers some reflections on the long-term coexistence of open access and toll access.

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.
