The Open Access (OA) movement is one of the most important and growing developments in the world of scholarly communication. Libraries and Cultural Resources (LCR) at the University of Calgary is involved in many initiatives relating to Open access. This session discussed how Open Access resources can be found and used by the University of Calgary community members and find out about services that support Open Access on campus, such as the Open Access Authors Fund and the institutional repository (DSpace).

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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
