The December issue of Walt Crawford's Cites & Insights is now online. The bulk of this issue is an extended commentary on Google Library and the Open Content Alliance. He acknowledges Open Access News as one of his main sources, quotes me often (thanks), and reaches conclusions similar to mine. If you've been following OAN, the chief benefit of his essay is to see the many news reports and comments brought together in one place with his annotations. I found this useful myself.

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.
