Open Access

Open Access is an important part of the Next Generation Library project, and next week is a time to celebrate it with Open Access Week!

In addition to reminding you about Open Access Week, this blog post is also here to announce that the legal documents for ensuring Open Access for NGL projects are available. For librarians working on Next Generation Library projects we've added a new section to the internal NGL site where legal documents for getting permission to use copyrighted materials are stored. Be sure to get the documents completed so we continue to provide Open Access.

Oberlin College has put up a simple lobby exhibit in the library that highlights the OC faculty's 11/09 Open Access resolution and the debut later this fall of the OberlinScholarshipOA institutional repository which will run on their OhioLINK DSPACE server. A library blog entry also announces OA week to the campus community.
