Based on an on-line inquiry and semi-directive interviews, the aim of
this work is to find out how scholars in French universities in the
field of humanities feel about the Open Archives phenomenon. The
study tries to establish what keeps them from publishing their
scientific production that way. It also indicates some directions
librarians could follow to introduce and allow a better use of these
Open Access repositories.

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.
