The January 2006 issue of Walt Crawford's Cites & Insights is now online. This issue has a section on OCA and GLP Redux covering etexts and ebooks, Project Gutenberg, and the Google Library Project, especially the controversy over its its fair-use claim. Another section explicates Marjorie Heins and Tricia Beckle's new report for the Free Expression Project, Will fair use survive?

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.
