While we do our best to provide news of the big OA stories on ResourceShelf, the place to see them all is by utilizing the OATP. If open access is a topic you follow, you might want to think about becoming a contributor. This article that Peter wrote gives all of the details you'll ever need. The actual home page and place to find the feeds you want is here. Make sure to review the OATP links page as well as the FAQ.
We're also very happy that Peter every now and then finds worthwhile material for the OATP either via an email we send from RS HQ or by simply scanning ResourceShelf regularly.
Since open access is now a major topic in many areas of the library world and frequently discussed in journals, blogs, and conferences, it's a topic worth spending some time with and the OATP is THE place to begin.
