Research Free-For-All!

The Register is reporting today that "Scientists from all major Dutch universities officially launched a website on Tuesday where all their research material can be accessed for free. Interested parties can get hold of a total of 47,000 digital documents from 16 institutions the Digital Academic Repositories. No other nation in the world offers such easy access to its complete academic research output in digital form, the researchers claim. Obviously, commercial publishers are not amused."

This is great news. We can all benefit. How would you use any of this knowledge to improve what you are trying to get done? Where do you start?
