Today JISC and Elsevier announced a two-year agreement, starting this month, to provide ScienceDirect to all UK universities. (PS: This is not open access, but subsidized toll-access. But it's a major instance of it, forestalling for at least two years any UK participation in the wave of Elsevier cancellations sweeping the U.S.)

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.
