open-access scholarship
February 12th, 2008
In the news:
Harvard University’s arts and sciences faculty will vote today on a proposal in which the university would publish all the finished papers of its scholars in a free online repository unless they opted out of the arrangement, The New York Times reported. In an op-ed in today’s Harvard Crimson, Robert Darnton, director of the university library, said that the new arrangement would be “collective but not coercive” and that “[i]n place of a closed, privileged, and costly system, it will help open up the world of learning to everyone who wants to learn.”
