On August 7, the California Digital Library launched the International and Area Studies Digital Collection, an open-access, peer-reviewed repository of articles, monographs, and edited volumes. Some of the volumes are published in hardcopy by the University of California Press.
PS. This is the CDL's second archive. The first was the eScholarship Repository, which logged its 10,000th full-text download on July 22. (Thanks to Greg Tananbaum.)

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.
