Last week I mentioned that President Bush was expected to sign the E-Government Act of 2002, which was unanimously adopted by Congress. Today he did sign it. Among other things, the act requires federal courts to provide open access to their judgments, dockets, rules, and standing orders, and requires federal agencies to provide open access to all the information they are required to publish in the Federal Register.

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.
