I’ve blogged twice about the Google Books Settlement (here and here), in addition to following it at considerable length on Open Access News. Now, I’m part of it!

Google Books Settlement: Now featuring me
Happy Open Access Week
In late 2006 or early 2007, I was looking for ways to get students interested in open access.
