Lisa Chan surfaces a link to Information Research, a free, international, scholarly journal, dedicated to making freely accessible the results of research across a wide range of information-related disciplines. The reviews look like a great way to keep up with new books, and of course there’s a weblog.

This is wonderful. I’d love to see more journals become free and available online, perhaps supported by grants rather than by horrifically expensive subscriptions or association memberships. Otherwise they rot away on library shelves read only by those in academia.
