   access and use is constrained by
   business models, outdated IP policies,
   technical and other infrastructures,
   standards, misinformation...
   New Problems

7. Defining “Open”
   “By open access, we mean its free availability
   on the public internet, permitting any users to
   read, download, copy, distribute, print,
   search or link to the full text of these articles,
   crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to
   software or use them for any other lawful
   purpose…”
   - The Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2002

    From Peter Suber Open Access Overview: http://legacy.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.
    htm
    Compatible with copyright, peer review,
    revenue, print, preservation, prestige,
    quality, career-advancement, indexing.
    Often focused on publicly-funded research.
    There are two primary vehicles for delivering
    OA to research articles, OA journals and OA
    repositories

15. Open Access Policies
    Many possibilities
    Our goal: Default Open
    Grants the institution certain non-exclusive rights to future
    research articles published by faculty. This sort of policy
    typically offers a waiver option or opt-out for authors. It also
    requires deposit in the repository.
    Faculty Driven

16. Engage
    1 - You are a tenure-track professor. You have an article
    you’d like to publish. Your university has no open access
    policy. What do you want to know before you decide where
    and how to publish?
    2 - You are a huge openness advocate and have created a
    slide-set you think may be useful for others. Which CC
    license do you choose?
    3 - You have 15 minutes with the Provost who wants to
    know why campus should have an open access policy;
    what are the 3 points you will make?
