Walt Crawford is soliciting feedback on how much he should continue to cover "Library Access to Scholarship" (mostly OA) in his newsletter, Cites & Insights.
PS: In January 2004 Walt announced that he was scaling back his OA coverage in part because I did it so well. Fortunately he continued, even if he did scale back, and now he's raising the same question again, in part for the same reason. My feeling is the same as it was then. There are two reasons why my voice shouldn't exclude his: he's good at this (see some examples) and we don't always agree. Drop him a line and encourage him to keep it up.

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.
