The EBSCO Electronic Journals Service now contains OA content from more 100 BMC journals. From the EBSCO press release (May 18): 'Articles from more than 100 open access journals available from BioMed Central are now available via EBSCOhost ® Electronic Journals Service (EJS). Access to this content – more than 8,700 articles from over 100 journals – is available to customers who sign up for the BioMed Central package on EJS. BioMed Central research articles are “open access” and are immediately and permanently available online without charge. Some journals require an institutional or personal subscription to view content such as reviews.

A-to-Z offers access to hundreds of free online journals, such as those found in PubMed Central, the Directory of Open Access Journals and the Free Medical Journals package.'

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.
