Jondi Gumz, University offers faculty alternatives for publishing research, Santa Cruz Sentinel, March 13, 2004. Excerpt: "Now there’s an alternative for faculty members who say their campuses can't afford skyrocketing prices for scholarly journals. The University of California is expanding its eScholarship Repository to include peer-reviewed journals online, giving faculty a less expensive way to publish their research and provide scholars worldwide with free access to their findings. The move came in response to complaints last fall by faculty that rising subscription costs were burdensome in light of budget cuts."

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.
