    by  • March 19, 2013 • Libraries • 0 Comments

    Over @ OEDB.org librarian and editor Ellyssa Kroski has created a list of how librarians can contribute to the cause of open access. These are:

    1. Self-Archive Your Work
    2. Donate Your Syllabi
    3. Archive Your Podcasts and Edu Resources
    4. Use a Creative Commons Attribution License
    5. Publish An Open Access Journal
    6. Make Your Applications and Modules Open Source
    7. Share Your Slides

    I currently do #4, 6, and 7 and am working on #3 so that’s more than half so I think I’m doing well in this area. (I don’t write syllabi, so there’s no way I can do all seven.)
