As I was working on my final project I found myself only able to name 1 OA Journal: PLOS. I wanted to know if there were any other big players in the game, much like the top commercial journals. As a result, google came up with the above site, which works like an index or directory for OA Journals. It's good to see in light of the difficulties that closed access journals have been causing in countries that are digitally divided from affluent ones. Hopefully with the growth of open access titles we will see the digital divide and information gap close. Happy browsing! And please post any other open access titles you have come across! Lets popularize them in our network! One more: http://doaj.org/

A good reference for those who are exploring 'intellectual property' law, especially in Canada. This page covers Canada's history with The Copyright Act and its many revisions.

Great site. I have been learning to use http://pressbooks.com/, which is also a free site for the creation of ebooks!

On the Exhange with Amanda Lang (a show about business that airs here in Canada) host Amanda Lang talks about a bill that is in the works to amend the Canadian copyright law in order to give politicians the right to use news materials in their campaigns. http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/Business/The+Exchange+with+Amanda+Lang/ID/2549103895/?page=2

In the discussion of the Shockey & Eisen video in week 6 I mentioned a not-for-profit publishing model in which scientists band together to create a peer review journal that does not operate like current for-profit ones. I am glad to have found one in operation at http://www.plos.org/. Check it out. I don't know much about it yet other than the fact that it came out of a movement to stop the current model. According to wikipedia, in 2001 there was a petition for scientists to stop submitting their work to for-profit journals. While it went largely ignored, PLOS came to life as a result. http://www.plos.org/
