Mary Minow, You can help free old works from copyright - need your help identifying library collections, LibraryLaw Blog, May 3, 2004. On behalf of one of the lawyers pursuing the Kahle case, Minow asks librarians and archivists to identify works in their collections dating from 1964 to 1977 which could not be digitized under the current law, but which would enter the public domain if the lawsuit is successful. They also seek the total anumber of published print works from 1920-1950, to determine how many of these were not registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. (Source: commons-blog)

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.
