Public Library of Science (PLoS) notes that 100 organizations from over 20 countries have joined to commemorate Open Access Day for the first time on October 14, 2008.
Open Access Day will help to broaden awareness and understanding of Open Access, including recent mandates and emerging policies, within the international higher education community and the general public.
History: Open Access Day was inspired by the National Day of Action on February 15th, 2007, led by Students for FreeCulture with support from the Alliance for Taxpayer Access. This year, the same partners have joined forces with the Public Library of Science, the open-access scientific and medical online publisher.
