Review of Open Access in 2008

Peter Suber's review of OA progress in 2008 is now available. Heather Morrison introduced this in her OA Librarian blog: "... this piece succinctly captures the major events of 2008 - the widely heralded such as the strong NIH mandate, the Harvard mandate, and the Springer acquisition of BioMedCentral - to the more important but perhaps less noticed events - such as the fact that BMC achieved profitability before being bought by Springer. Highly recommended as a review for those who keep up, or an overview for those who don't always have the time"
