On July 5, Laura Gurak and a handful of colleagues from the University of Minnesota launched Into the Blogosphere, a peer-reviewed, open-access collection of articles on the "discursive, visual, social, and other communicative features of weblogs". ITB is not itself a blog but is built on the UM Libraries' blogging service UThink. (Thanks to Wendy Pradt Lougee.) (PS: The editors don't call ITB a "journal", apparently because it's closed to new contributions, though open to reader comments. They analogize it to a book anthology.)

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.
