Wade Roush, The Infinite Library, MIT Technology Review, May 2005. A detailed look at the Google library project and some of the controversies it has spawned, e.g. on Google's profit motive, the need for preservation after digitization, and user access rights.

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.
