The OA Librarian is a new, cooperatively produced weblog, which combines a
pathfinder function with news and commentary on open access and librarianship.

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.
