[Irtalk] Strategies for Success: Open Access Policies at North American Educational Institutions

[Hilton Gibson]

*​Recognizing the paucity of quantitative and qualitative data from North
American educational*
*institutions that have pursued open access policies, the authors devised a
survey to collect information*
*on the characteristics of these institutions, as well as the elements of
the open access policies, the*
*methods of promoting these policies, faculty concerns about the policies,
and how those concerns have*
*been addressed.* The data collected through survey results from fifty‐one
institutions can inform the
strategic decisions being made by other institutions considering an open
access policy and illustrates the
essential roles that academic libraries can play in the development and
passage of open access policies.
