This is “Open Access Week!”

International Open Access Week

This week draws attention to Open Access literature and research, which generally is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Through the Marx Law Library the College of Law publishes scholarship in two open access repositories: our institutional Digital Commons repository and LawArXive. Our law librarians can help faculty publish scholarship to these open access sites. Additionally, Director of the Law Library Ken Hirsh is a signatory to the Durham Statement on Open Access to Legal Scholarship, which calls for law schools to publish their journals in open access sites in stable, digital formats.
