For those unfamiliar with open access, this Wikipedia article provides a basic overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access We will be discussing the following readings: 1) Chronicle article on UC Academic Senate announcement: http://chronicle.com/article/Open-Access-Gains-Major/140851/ 2) Open access briefing paper prepared for internal use by IST-RIT (PDF attached) 3) American Historical Association announcement: http://blog.historians.org/2013/07/american-historical-association-statement-on-policies-regarding-the-embargoing-of-completed-history-phd-dissertations/ and two blog responses: A) http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/2013/07/24/etds-publishing-policy-based-on-fear/ B) http://chronicle.com/blogs/conversation/2013/08/07/an-embargo-on-dissertations-will-not-solve-the-bigger-problem/ If you have any questions, please contact Quinn (qui...@berkeley.edu).
