The May issue of Searcher is now online. Three of its articles are OA-related (but only one is OA itself).
Miriam Drake, Science.gov and CENDI: Interview with Bonnie Carroll. Not OA. Blurb: "Miriam Drake interviews Bonnie Carroll, executive director of CENDI, a consortium of federal agencies whose mission is to improve the productivity of federal science- and technology-based programs through effective scientific and technical information-support systems."
David Mattison, The Digital Humanities Revolution. Not OA. Blurb: "David Mattison highlights freely available digital resources, coming from new and existing alliances between computational specialists, scholars, and librarians, that are helping to revolutionize the field and study of humanities."
Barbie Kaiser, Beyond ERIC: The Early Years. Blurb: "Part Three: Resources for Higher Education and Lifelong Learning. In this installment, Barbie Kaiser focuses on components of adult learning: higher education, institutions and financial aid, distance learning, continuing education, fields of study, and professional training. The six accompanying tables provide multiple online sites related to each of these categories."

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.
