BioMed Central has created an extensive advocacy kit to help others make the case for open access. It comes in two versions, one for researchers and one for librarians. Both understandably lean toward BMC when specific models or examples are needed, but both make the general argument as well. (PS: Similar in motivation to Create Change from ARL, ACRL, and SPARC, but with less background information and more emails and powerpoint presentations ready to go. Use both.)

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.
