From the announcement:

The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has published an online preprint essay by Ivy Anderson, Director of Collections, California Digital Library, encouraging libraries to support SCOAP3, the Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics.

SCOAP3 is a new model for scholarly communication proposed by a community of scientists. Physicists interested in expanding access to their literature have designed a novel approach to garner support from individual libraries, library consortia, research institutions, and even nation states to turn a core set of journals in the high energy physics discipline into open access publications.
