Biblical Bibliography of Lausanne (BiBIL) is now open access:
http://www3.unil.ch/bibil/public/
It features a standard and advanced search line for English, Hebrew, and Greek characters, and one can search in French, English, and German. Moreover, one can set limiters including books, series, journals, articles, and electronic media such as CD-roms.
My initial impression is very favorable: a search on author name "Richter" returned 63 hits.

Australian Biblical Review
Some issues of Australian Biblical Review are now open access:
http://www.fbs.org.au/abr.html
Information from the home page:
Australian Biblical Review is published by the Fellowship for Biblical Studies Inc. and, since 1951, has provided a forum for biblical scholars to make their research available to the international scholarly community.
Although the majority of articles published are from Australian biblical scholars, issues include contributions from non-Australian authors, and many important contributions to biblical scholarship have been published in ABR over the years by scholars from around the world.
Australian Biblical Review is published annually in October. It has a wide international readership and can be found in the great majority of theological libraries that have a good holding of journals of biblical scholarship. ABR is a refereed journal.

2 new open access Hebrew grammars
John A. Cook and Robert D. Holmstedt have kindly made freely available two Hebrew grammars.
The first is Biblical Hebrew: A Student Grammar (Draft Copy, 2009)
http://individual.utoronto.ca/holmstedt/textbook/BHSG2011.pdf
This book contains 30 lessens, which represents the number of weeks in a typical US university academic year.
The second is Biblical Hebrew: An Illustrated Introduction
As with the former volume, this text adopts a non-confessional stance and seeks to streamline the grammar to the essentials, leaving it to the instructor to answer questions which students may raise over the lacunae. One example is that it has no formal discussion of weak verbs. Rather this topic is "relegated" to an appendix. It seems to me that the truly unique aspect is coupling the lessons with exercises that have color cartoons and ask students to answer questions based on it. Thus it introduces a visual dimension that may well enhance comprehension. The book has 50 lessons and 13 readings.
This book has two PDF downloads:
Lessons, Appendices, & Glossaries

Readings
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8477225/Textbook/BHII_Readings_July2011.pdf
Their website also announces an instructor's edition to be released this summer as well as information on how to access high-resolution versions.
