AAAI is delighted to announce the first step in its major initiative to open up access to the technical content of its digital library. All AAAI conference proceedings and technical reports are now freely available to the international research community by clicking on "Library" at [the AAAI web site]. During the coming months, AAAI will be migrating this section of the Library to an open area of the AAAI Open Journal System (OJS), the system that currently houses the archive of the AI Magazine. OJS will greatly enhance the user experience, by allowing readers to conduct extensive searches about articles and the author's other work without every leaving our site....
Access to the contents of the latest issues of the AI Magazine will remain part of AAAI membership benefits [PS: OA after a 15 month moving wall]....
AAAI wishes to thank you for your ongoing support of this initiative and all AAAI programs through the continuation of your AAAI membership. We count on you to help us deliver the latest information about artificial intelligence to the scientific community. To enable us to continue this effort, we invite you to consider an additional gift to AAAI. For information on how you can contribute to the open access initiative, please see [the AAAI web site] and click on "Gifts."

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.
