Susan Gibbons, Establishing an Institutional Repository, Library Technology Reports, Jul/Aug 2004. Only this abstract is free online, at least so far: "Gibbons outlines the arguments for why libraries are the best organizations on an academic campus to run institutional repositories and why libraries should get involved early. Learn the steps for establishing an institutional repository, its range of uses, and its various features and applications. Gibbons evaluates what vendors systems are available, as well as costs and institutional support. Learn what's on the horizon for this innovative technology." (Thanks to Charles W. Bailey, Jr.)

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.
