X Abstract

For electronic resources librarians, "open access" raises a variety of questions. What is OA? Is it different from free access, or is it the same? What is a Creative Commons License, which some OA providers use? What's an "e-print"? Are there different types of e-prints? What is "self-archiving"? What are the different ways that e-prints are made publicly available? What's an open access journal? Are there different types of OA journals? How can OA journals be made available at no cost? How do you search for OA materials? Why is OA desirable? Will OA flourish or fail? How will OA affect library collections and services? What can libraries do to support OA and to integrate OA materials into their collections? How will OA affect library budgets, especially collection budgets? How will OA affect electronic resources librarians' jobs?
