Just six months after launching its international membership and sponsorship campaign, Bioline International is pleased to welcome York University Libraries as the newest sponsor and supporting member for 2009. ...
Bioline's new sponsorship program, announced in November 2008, gives organizations and institutions the opportunity to make a bold statement for open access to the research published in developing countries.
These special funding contributions are helping Bioline to make the transition to a membership supported system, without compromising their commitment to ensuring sustainable, reliable access to the 70 journals from 16 countries distributed through the Bioline website. An expanded membership base will enable the addition of quality peer-reviewed scientific journals from other parts of the world.
Response to the call for members to provide Bioline with a sustainable funding base into the future has been well received. Despite the global economic crisis, Bioline is pleased to announce that 18 organizations have already signed on as Bioline members. ...

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.
