Natali Helberger, A2K: Access to Knowledge – Make it happen, Indicare, May 30, 2005. Abstract: 'A2K stands for "Access to Knowledge" and is the acronym for a global initiative that took its start in 2004 and that is progressing quickly. The goal of the A2K initiative is to restore the instable balance between the interests of holders of exclusive rights in creative content and users of such content. One element of the initiative is the drafting of a proposal for a treaty to protect and promote access to knowledge.'

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.
