Our Mission:
Expand the distribution of the results of
research and scholarship in a way that
leverages digital networked technology,
reduces financial pressures on libraries,
and creates a more open system of
scholarly communication.

What Do You Do?
It Isn’t Inter-Library Loan…
I ask the author for a copy.
I get it from a colleague at an
institution with a subscription.

crime during a hearing before…”

“By open access, we mean its free
availability on the public internet,
permitting any users to read,
download, copy, distribute, print,
search or link to the full text of these
articles, crawl them for indexing, pass
them as data to software or use them
for any other lawful purpose…”

What Does this Mean for
Researchers and Scholars?
A (Largely) Positive New Scenario
• Broader reach/wider audience for
your work
• Access to more, license to do more
• New ways to see who is using your
work, and how they are using it
The Digital Environment Lets Us
Collect Information on More than
Just Citations.
Article Level Metrics
Choose the Aspect of Impact you
Want to Explore.
From Mentions In the Media…
Tweets and Re-Tweets…
No Single Indicator Tells Whole
Story.
Opportunities to Paint a Fuller
Picture by Aggregating
Information.
Not Yet Fully Understood.
Still Early Days. But Important
Days.
Disruptive Technologies,
Opportunities for Meaningful
Change.
Thank you!
