Subject: Introducing Open Access Librarian

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 OA librarian
advocates. 
Thus far we have focused 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.

Blog team members are:

1. Marcus Banks, New York University School of Medicine
2. Anita Coleman, University of Arizona School of Information Resources &
