The American Institute for Health Education (AIHE) now provides free online citations to medical literature. As before, if readers want full-text, AIHE will provide it at cost (photocopying plus any permission fees). Admittedly, this is not OA. But AIHE is not for profit and its service can be the next best thing for patients and researchers who need primary sources and don't have access to a medical library. For more on the AIHE, see the web site or our blog posting from September 26, 2004.

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.
