Open Access Week at the University of Oregon

Open Access logo

Join the University of Oregon Libraries as we participate in an international celebration of Open Access, Oct 19-23, 2009. We’re highlighting the ways that Open Access to scholarly work contributes to the visibility and impact of that work, and the variety of ways that the UO is contributing to the development and use of Open Access materials, both for research and teaching.

The UO has numerous initiatives to support Open Access.  See http://libweb.uoregon.edu/scis/sc/uoopenaccess.html

What is Open Access?

In 2002, the Budapest Open Access Initiative defined Open Access as the “world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed journal literature, completely free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students, and other curious minds.” Open Access shifts the costs of producing scholarship away from the reader, and by so doing makes it more likely that the works will be used as we intend – that they’ll be read and cited.
