The Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has launched FRASER (Federal Reserve Archival System for Economic Research), an open-access archive of documents and data on the U.S. economy. FRASER supplements FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data), the similar archive from the same outfit. (Thanks to ResourceShelf for the link. Kudos to the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank. My only suggestion is a clearer statement of how FRED and FRASER differ and when to search in one and when in the other.)

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.
