Listen to a two-minute audio clip of Leslie Chan, Associate Director of Bioline International, talking about the "equitable access" and "open access" terminology used at WSIS, and the importance of open access to developing countries.

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.
