The California Open Educational Resources Council: From Curation To Adoption, Katherine D. Harris, Diego Bonilla

Open Access And The Logic Of Collective Action, John Wenzler

SJSU Open Access Conference

In the digital age, academic libraries confront the dilemma of collective action. In the era of print, each library stored, organized and provided access to a collection of scholarly resources for researchers at a local institution. On an integrated electronic network, all of these tasks become shared endeavors. One copy of a journal article housed on an Internet server provides faster and more convenient access to the scholarly community than 1,000 printed copies scattered across the country. Thus, the work of maintaining the article and making it discoverable can be done by one organization for the entire community instead of …
