OASIS has posted a 2:38 minute clip from a longer video of Leslie Chan interviewing Padmanabhan Balaram on the importance of OA and institutional repositories, especially for science institutes. Balaram is the Director of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Editor of Current Science. The interview was taped on March 30.

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.
