Carol Hughes, eScholarship at the University of California: sustainable innovation for open access, a presentation at the ongoing IFLA General Conference in Berlin. Abstract: "This presentation describes the history of the University of California eScholarship program, a joint effort
of the University of California Libraries in collaboration with the California Digital Library. It discusses
the context that gave rise to the creation of the eScholarship repository, the logistical issues involved in
setting up a multi-campus persistent repository for scholarly output, and future issues to be addressed in
developing experimental reconfigurations of the components of scholarly communication in collaboration
with communities of scholars." (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
