An Open Access Reading List — Open Access @ UNT
The University of North Texas at Denton hosted an Open Access Symposium on May 18, 2010, part of their ongoing initiative to establish a campus open access policy. UNT would be the first public university in Texas, and only the second public university in the U.S., after the University of Kansas, to formalize a requirement for faculty members to grant permission to the university to make a copy of their scholarly journal articles available in an open access repository. DigitalKoans provided a convenient list of PDF versions of the Symposium presentations.
Once the video recordings from the UNT Symposium are available, I hope to feature some. In the meantime, the preparation for the Symposium included the development of a core reading list to educate their academic community about the open access movement. Please consider this a good set of readings for any library school class that is going to explore the open access movement.
