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.

OAIster Access to OAIster A freely accessible site for searching only OAIster records is available at Additionally, OAIster records are fully accessible through WorldCat.org, and appear as WorldCat.org search results along with records from thousands of libraries worldwide. The OAIster database is searchable on the OCLC FirstSearch service, providing another valuable access point for this rich database and a complement to other FirstSearch databases. Policies Tool - Directory of Open Access Repositories Introduction In a survey for OpenDOAR in early 2006, Peter Millington discovered that about two thirds of Open Access repositories did not have publicly stated policies for the permitted re-use of deposited items or for such things as submission of items, long term preservation, etc. This complicates matters for organisations wishing to provide search services, which in turn reduces the visibility and impact of these repositories.

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.
Enabling Open Scholarship - Open Access policies for universities and research institutions Libre accès (édition scientifique) Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Un des logos du libre accès, d'origine de PLoS. Le libre accès (en anglais : open access) est la mise à disposition en ligne de contenus numériques, qui peuvent eux-mêmes être soit libres (Creative commons, etc.), soit sous un des régimes de propriété intellectuelle. L’open access est principalement utilisé pour les articles de revues de recherche universitaires, sélectionnés par des pairs. On devrait, en réalité, distinguer le libre accès (libre open access en anglais) et l'accès ouvert (gratis open access [1]), afin de distinguer plus nettement ce qui est « simplement » en accès gratuit pour l'internaute (accès ouvert) et ce qui est en accès gratuit et libre, parce que soumis à une licence d'utilisation dite libre (Creative commons, par exemple). Une seconde initiative internationale majeure, datant de 2003, est la déclaration de Berlin sur le libre accès à la connaissance en sciences et sciences humaines[3].

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.
