The Principles and Politics of Open Access

As administrators, publishers, scholars, librarians and others have sought to change the long-standing practices and conduct of creating and disseminating new knowledge, principles have emerged to inform the change process. These principles have guided the development of strategies for formulating and implementing policies, and have provided a foundation for understanding and navigating the politics of open access. This talk will explore the areas along with the expectations, outcomes, motivations, intent, and promise of open access. It will end with current extensions of the open access movement and emerging prospects for the future
