Senate Bill 10-11-32
| Bill ID: | 10-11-32 |
| Name: | Open Access Movement: A Proposal for Broad University Engagement in Study, Dialog, and Policy |
| Proposed: | 11/09/2010 |
| Sponsor: | University Library Council |
| Proposal: | The way we respond to the much-?-discussed crisis in scholarly publishing will profoundly affect the University's future, and our capabilities for achieving and sustaining excellence as a comprehensive research university. The issues involved are of vital importance to all campus constituencies-faculty, students, staff, and administrators. As many senators will remember, one proposed solution to some of the problems in scholarly publishing is known as "open access," which was debated in spring 2009. That debate revealed confusion, misinformation, and lack of information about "open access." As a result, the University Library Council undertook a year-?-long review of open-?- access issues to determine whether a campus policy should be formulated. |
