If you are interested in promoting open access to scientific literature, you
may find the following three sources very useful.
Online Forum on Open Access

A complete archive of the ongoing discussion on providing online open access
to the peer-reviewed research literature is available at the American
Scientist Open Access Forum. Post discussion to:
<<...OLE_Obj...>>
Open Access News http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/fosblog.html
A blog edited by Peter Suber that focuses on efforts to create toll-free
access to peer-reviewed research and scholarship.
EPrints: Author/Institutional Archiving Software http://www.eprints.org/
Provides open source software for self-archiving research, as well as
running CiteBase and OpCit projects on improving online services such as
reference linking. <<...OLE_Obj...>>
You may also find The Scientist, the fortnightly journal for life scientists
published by Eugene Garfield, useful. The Scientist includes a section
called "Open Access Now".
