Open Access (OA) and scholarly communication & publishing

The Library has recently added some basic information about the Open Access movement in scholarly publishing to its website. This can be viewed at:
http://www.ucd.ie/library/about/open_access/

A listing of some of the major repositories and search tools for searching collections of both Open Access journals and repositories is provided at:
http://www.ucd.ie/library/electronic_resources/e-lib/oasearch.html

A summary of publishers offering an Open Access publication route is provided at:
http://www.ucd.ie/library/electronic_resources/e-lib/oapublish.html

We would welcome further suggestions for both search tools and OA publishing options which could be added to these listings.
