Karen Schneider, a.k.a. Free Range Librarian, has classed Open Access News among the blogs worth reading. Excerpt: 'I track over 100 blogs, but I really like several dozen, and they are all over the map--news, librariana, literature, technology, opinion, humor, and other kibbles and bits. This week I'll talk about two very different blogs, one from academia/librarianship and the other from the world of books: Open Access News and Beatrix....It's fascinating to watch the open access movement develop, and this blog is its paper of record. Additional features include definitions of open access, a detailed timeline of the open access movement, and related links.' (Thanks, Karen!)

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.
