Scholarly communication: Harvard opens up

In an exciting development in the push for open access scholarly communication, Tuesday's Chronicle of Higher Education news blog posted: Harvard Faculty Adopts Open-Access Requirement. The policy requires faculty members to allow the university to make their scholarly articles available free online through Harvard's institutional repository. There appears to be some confusion regarding when the articles can be posted (after peer review? after the article is published?). This is another facet of what MIT's open courseware project has done to make course materials available free online.
