The OAI Registry at the Grainger Engineering Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has added an RSS feed. The feed keeps subscribers up to date on new OAI providers. (PS: Very cool. As far as I know, this is the first OAI registry with an RSS feed. Think of the next step. Just as DayPop and other search engines support RSS feeds for canned searches, and syndicate new hits for subscribers, an OAI-compliant archive could do the same and automate current awareness for the open-access content in eprint archives.)

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.
