Helen Beckett, Preserving our digital heritage, ComputerWeekly, January 31, 2006. A detailed look at the British Library project to digitize its holdings, some of which is funded and assisted by Microsoft as part of the Open Content Alliance. The article focuses more on digital preservation than OA.

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.
