Lorna Campbell, Kerry Blinco, and Jon Mason, Repository Management and Implementation, DEST and JISC-CETIS, 2004. A white paper for alt-i-lab 2004. Acknowledging that preservation and open access are two incentives for using repositories, this paper focuses more on the former than the latter. Also see the related Digital Repository Checklist.

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.
