One of my colleagues here at the U of Calgary is a contributor to this new group-blog:
OA Librarian is a new, cooperatively produced weblog, which combines a
pathfinder function with news and commentary on open access and
librarianship.
Please visit us here: http://oalibrarian.blogspot.com/
Under OA Resources on the right-hand side of the page, you’ll find
links to
free open access resources in Library and Information Science: the LIS
journals
listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals, and two open archives
for LIS:
E-LIS and D-LIST. There are also links to bibliographies and advocacy
tools.
Postings vary widely: news items pertinent to librarians, relevant
conference
presentations, and other blogs or resources about open access developed
by
librarians.
One theme of OA Librarian is highlighting the work of librarians who
advocate for Open Access.
Recent articles focus on Antonella de Robbio, the originator of E-LIS;
Anita
Coleman, the driving force behind DLIST; and Charles W. Bailey, Jr.,
the author
of the Open Access Bibliography: Liberating Scholarly Literature with
E-Prints
and Open Access Journals.
