The Canadian Research Knowledge Network incorporated on April 1, and will take over the work formerly done by the Canadian National Site Licensing Project. Yesterday's press release says that the CRKN is "dedicated to expanding access to scholarly research in digital formats for the benefit of academic researchers nation-wide" and that its inaugural meeting (Toronto, April 22-23) explored "the impact of expanded access to digital content on" the research conducted by CRKN member institutions.

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.
