The Union of Concerned Scientists has created an action alert on the closing --actually, the trashing-- of the EPA libraries. If you're a US citizen, please consider using it to send a message to your Congressional delegation.
PS: For background, see my blog postings on the problem.

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.
