Open Access: Getting from Here to There:
A discussion with presenters from the SPARC/ACRL Forum.
Open access to scholarly journals - access that is free to readers -
is a powerful concept that has ignited the imaginations of
researchers, librarians, administrators, and policy-makers. How will
it work in practice, and how will it address the challenges presented
by traditional publishing models based on subscription revenue?
Please join Joseph Branin (Dean of Libraries at Ohio State
University), Helen Doyle (Director of Development and Strategic
Alliances, Public Library of Science), and Henry Hagedorn (Journal of
Insect Science) for candid and stimulating discussion of the
opportunities and challenges presented by this new publishing paradigm.
