摘要

There has been enormous growth in open access to scholarly resources over the last few years. The three speakers at the Access to Continuing Resources Interest Group Program addressed three different methods by which scholarly content is being made open access. Ada Emmett, Scholarly Communications Program Head at the University of Kansas (KU) Libraries' Center for Digital Scholarship, spoke about the implementation of KU's open access policy; Julie Bobay, Associate Dean for Collection Development & Scholarly Communication at Indiana University Libraries, provided an overview of and update on the publication model for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy; and Jim Gilden, Editor, SAGE Open Sales at SAGE Publications, gave a snapshot of SAGE's new open access journal publishing in the social sciences and humanities.
