Here is a short demo video about the OpenAccess Toolbar ánd the Mobile (web) App.
It still can be useful to have some info very close at hand. Of course it depends on how often you need info about OpenAccess, but with this browser Toolbar, you will have the latest news on OpenAccess right in your browser.
A second strong feature of the Toolbar is the DIRECT SEARCH in major OpenAccess Resources, like the new CORE fulltext search engine, OAIster, DOAJ, PLoS, SpringerOpen (incl BioMedCentral)
Can’t or won’t install a Toolbar?
If you believe some resource should be added, please let me know!

Urgently needed! A symbol or character version of the Open Acces logo to be used in Word!!!! So no icon or image but a character like the Copyright character © that we all know! #openaccess #daretoaskhttp://j.mp/p0D8d9
We are creating lists op Top 25% Journals within relevant Journal Citation report (JCR) catagories for our organisation (University Medical Center Groningen) and we want to emphasize the OA Journals in there!
The CMS of the University of Groningen does not allow to add images next to these texts, and we think it would be nice to have that character anyway!
