In the October issue of FirstMonday, Steve Cisler has a detailed account of Brewster Kahle's Internet Bookmobile, which recently drove across the country to publicize the importance of public domain literature and the threats to it from the content industry and Congress.

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.
