The Bradford University Repository Project - BURP! is soon coming to its close. The 1-year project has been offering a lot of challenges but the Project Team are happy to announce the forthcoming launch of Bradford Scholars - the University of Bradford online research archive. The archive is already available to users for viewing existing materials and contributing new content.
We currently host almost 400 full digital objects ranging from traditional journal articles and conference papers to theses and video recordings. Sign up for RSS feeds to learn about new content being added daily. ...
Bradford Scholars is registered with a number of repository registries, hubs and search services, including OpenDOAR, ROAR, Scientific Commons, Intute Repository Search and NDLTD.
Staff and students at the University of Bradford may be interested in knowing that Bradford Scholars interacts with our current Blackboard VLE, Metalib and the forthcoming new library catalogue Encore. The new content management systems soon to roll out on campus will also permit staff to receive live feeds from the repository to their personal webpages.
Staff at the University of Bradford are eligible to contribute their research by first registering at the Bradford Scholars homepage. A number of guides and information sheets have been made available to contributors and personal help is available via telephone, email or face-to-face. ...

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.
