TSpace is an Institutional Repository at the University of Toronto. It's participating in the DSpace Federation Project. At the beginning of this week, my home Department, Medical Biophysics (MBP), set up a Community home page in TSpace. Within two days, the small initial content of this community had already been harvested by Google. This anecdote provides support for the view that Google is already giving a high priority to documents submitted to DSpace-based archives.

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.
