Open Access
Open Access Week 2017
- Open in Order to:
“Open in order to…” serves as a prompt to move beyond talking about openness in itself and focus on what openness enables—in an individual discipline, at a particular institution, or in a specific context; then to take action to realize these benefits. - Silver anniversary for a gold-standard open-access education journalThis year marks the 25th anniversary of Education Policy Analysis Archives, an open-access, peer-reviewed journal supported by Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. It is the longest-running OA journal at Arizona State University and one of the pioneering open-access journals in the history of the OA movement.
- FASTRH.R. 3427 / S. 1701, the bipartisan Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act (FASTR), will accelerate scientific discovery and fuel innovation by making articles reporting on publicly funded scientific research freely accessible online for anyone to read and build upon. This toolkit provides suggested actions and scripts for advocating with your congressional representatives.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
