The ACRL has made webcasts of the sessions of its National Conference (Charlotte, April 10-12). This includes a one hour and five minute webcast of the session, Scholarly Communication: Taking Stock, Charting Next Steps, featuring Ray English, James Neal, Jean-Claude Guedon, and David Shulenburger. However, in a very bad precedent, the ACRL has decided that access to the webcasts will not be free, even to ACRL members. Prices range from $25 for students to $160 for non-member institutions, far more than Jack Valenti would charge for admission to a Hollywood movie.

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.
