The December issue of Access Magazine is now online. This issue has stories on the book-scanning projects from the British Library and Library of Congress, the Kaufman-Wills report, and the DC Principles Coalition proposal for scaling back the NIH public-access policy. The story on the Kaufman-Wills report does not cover the report's post-publication addendum, which retracts and clarifies some of the report's negative conclusions about peer review at OA journals.

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.
