Open Access to Science

I'm happy to see that Martin Sabo, a congressperson from Minnesota, has sparked a few articles and debates about copyright and access to federally funded scientific research. The free research movement by Farhad Manjoo at Salon and Open Access and the Case for Public Good: The Scientists' Perspective by Michelle Romero at Information Today give two good summaries of the issues. More can be found at the Open Access News weblog.
