In the March 18 Chronicle of Higher Education, Andrea Foster reports the worries of some university administrators that the TEACH Act conflicts with the DMCA. The TEACH Act liberalizes copyright law for online education and the DMCA prohibits circumvention for any purpose. What are schools allowed to do when the material the TEACH Act lets them use is copy protected by its publisher?

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.
