About Debian. WHAT is Debian?
The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system that we have created is called Debian. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an operating system is the kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the computer and does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other programs. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel or the FreeBSD kernel. However, work is in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, primarily for the Hurd.
A large part of the basic tools that fill out the operating system come from the GNU project; hence the names: GNU/Linux, GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/Hurd. Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. It's a bit like a tower. Welcome to Apache Jackrabbit. Creative Commons Wiki. Guides and Overviews. Welcome to ECS EPrints Repository - ECS EPrints Repository. Why librarians should be concerned with Open Access. Rapid price escalations in scholarly journal subscription rates have been adversely affecting access to scholarly information.
Often referred to as the 'serials pricing crisis', the costs of academic journals have been sharply climbing for over two decades now. According to the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the average cost of a serial subscription for ARL member libraries increased by 315% from 1989 to 2003. This increase far exceeds the rise in the Consumer Price Index of 68% for those years. From 2003 on, average journal prices have increased more slowly, but still continue to rise by about 9% a year. Partially responsible for these increases is the ongoing consolidation of the journal publishing market. Impact on libraries . Journal price increases have far outpaced increases in library budgets and this has eroded libraries’ buying power significantly. This system is simply not sustainable. Open Access offers a viable solution to the serials pricing crisis. The Optimal Open Access Policy for Institutions. The following optimal wording for an Institutional Policy on Open Access for [institution] is recommended to accommodate publisher embargoes: The [institution name] expects the authors of papers reporting publicly-funded research to maximise the accessibility, usage and applications of their findings.
To this end: The [institution name]: (1) requires electronic copies of any research papers that have been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, and are supported in whole or in part by public funding, to be deposited into the institutional digital repository immediately upon acceptance for publication.

Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography: Scholarly Electronic Publishing Weblog. Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography. The Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography (SEPB) presents selected English-language articles, books, and other printed and electronic sources that are useful in understanding scholarly electronic publishing efforts on the Internet.
The bibliography covers a wide range of topics, such as digital copyright, digital libraries, digital preservation, digital repositories, e-books, e-journals, license agreements, metadata, and open access. Most sources have been published from January 1, 1990 through October 30, 2011; however, a limited number of earlier key sources are also included. The bibliography includes links to freely available versions of included works. Such links, even to publisher versions and versions in disciplinary archives and institutional repositories, are subject to change. URLs may alter without warning (or automatic forwarding) or they may disappear altogether. Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography. OpenDOAR - Home Page - Directory of Open Access Repositories.
