full-text within 3 years of publication (17% within 30 days)

* Internet Archive exceeds 10 million free texts

* Ongoing strong growth in open access archives, both repositories and
content, as seen through OpenDOAR, ROAR, and BASE

* 50% annual growth rate for the Directory of Open Access Books

* Directory of Open Access Journals has overall negative growth due to
major clean-up but showed strong growth in articles searchable at
article level and now adding titles at the rate of 4.5 per day

* Concern noted about the apparent ongoing dramatic growth of Elsevier
