OA Librarian is a new blog devoted to OA for librarians. It's a group blog currently staffed by Marcus Banks, Lesley Perkins, Andrew Waller, and Heather Morrison. From Heather Morrison's announcement yesterday:
Postings are on topics relating to open access that are particularly relevant for libraries and librarians: comments on open access activities from our perspectives, thoughts about what librarians will be doing in an open access world, celebrations of OA library accomplishments and stories about OA advocate librarians....Comments are welcome on OA Librarian, and there is room for more on the blog team, so if you would like to join, let one of us know! Or, if you have a single news item or resource to add, send it to one of the team members to blog.
Welcome to the OA blogosphere!

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.
