As was recently mentioned in several blogs such as here here and here, the idea of (the world's first - and not last) 'Open Access Week' was thought of, simmered/stirred, and then put into action.
As OA week draws to a close today, I thought I would post a summary in chronological order of many (not all) of the OA related items (that I found today) in the blogosphere over the last week.
Much much better still, go check out the Open Access News blog maintained so diligently by Peter Suber and also now, his trusty assistant editor, Gavin Baker.
Very importantly, as Peter Suber points out:-
"BTW, if you take part, please mention at some point that the NIH is collecting public comments on the policy until May 1. It would be a shame to generate a new wave of support for the policy and not have it show up when the NIH is evaluating responses. Publishers who oppose the policy are sure to submit their comments."
Hat tip to bloggers Martin Fenner and Bob O'Hara for helping to get the ball rolling.

Great list, McDawg. I didn't catch all of these when they were posted, so it looks like I've got some reading to do.
Thanks PA. It was fun pulling all of this together...
