Peter Brantley blogged the gist of Google's journal digitization program on November 9, and wrote an open letter to the AAUP about it on November 10, both much before my own first post on the subject December 17. (Thanks to Dorothea Salo.)

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.
