Bryant University has extended its OA institutional repository to include faculty eprints. From the announcement (undated but apparently released yesterday):
In an effort to "capture the intellectual output of the institution," the Douglas and Judith Krupp Library [of Bryant University] has expanded the Digital Commons project to manage and organize faculty research papers. The full text of these articles will be added if the writer grants permission.
In addition, the database compiles journal articles cited by Bryant faculty in their research and provides the full text of those articles if the library is a subscriber to the referenced publication....
To browse the collection, visit [New England Collections Online, a consortial repository], go to search and select DigitalCommons@Bryant University from the drop-down menu.... [PS: There is no deep link.]

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.
