OA in the library collection: The challenges of identifying and managing open access resources
Librarians, researchers, and the general public have largely embraced the concept of open access (OA). Yet, incorporating OA resources into existing discovery and tracking systems is often a complicated process. Open access material can be delivered through a variety of publishing or archival mechanisms, creating certain challenges, particularly for those managing e-resources. Although an increasing proportion of research output is becoming open access each year, organization and discovery of these resources remains imperfect.
In order to gain a better understanding of how libraries are managing access to OA resources, we'd like to ask you to participate in a brief survey. If you are involved with managing electronic resources at an academic library, please consider participating; it will only take a few minutes to complete, and you will not be asked for any personally identifiable information.
