Open Access for Librarians: What, Why, and How? Karin Dalziel karin@dalziel.org www.nirak.net
Librarians need to be informed of open access publishing methods and ideology because it is becoming an increasing force in scholarly literature.
What is Open Access?
Open access (OA) means immediate, free and unrestricted online access to digital scholarly material, primarily peer-reviewed research articles in scholarly journals. OA was made possible by the advent of the Internet. (Wikipedia)
There are two types of open access: Self-archiving, and open access journals.
Why Open Access?
Not everyone has access. This may be because of money or location.
Open access enables global communication and collaboration.
Open access might keep prices and permissions reasonable
How can librarians help?
Talk about it.
Submit to open access journals and repositories.
