This summer, Creative Commons started compiling a database of university copyright ownership policies. An analysis is forthcoming, but several American universities are already listed, and the database is a wiki, so users can add others. The entries consider ownership policies with regard to creative works, courseware, materials, and student works, as well as whether the university has an OA policy.

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.
