The Digital Library of India (DLI) aims to provide "free access to all human knowledge" starting with "a free-to-read, searchable collection of one million books, predominantly in Indian languages." It already has about 100,000 books online. The DLI is part of the Universal Library project from Carnegie Mellon, which has the same goals, though it will start with English-language literature.

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.
