The presentations from the JISC-SURF-CURL International Workshop on e-Theses (Amsterdam, January 19-20, 2006), are now online. Also see the responses to the workshop questionnaire, and Neil Jacobs' report on the questionnaires and workshop in the January Ariadne. SURF reports that the workshop gave rise to a European Taskforce for E-Theses, though it gives few details. The taskforce doesn't seem to have a web site yet.

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.
