BioMed Central just released (Mis)Leading Open Access Myths, a catalog of 11 objections to OA with a careful reply to each one. The objections are distilled from the publishers' testimony in the UK inquiry. This is a superb aid for advocates and for the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee as it digests the testimony of the publishers.

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.
