Presented during Open Access Week 2012 to MacEwan University faculty in Edmonton, Alberta on October 24, 2012. Abstract: Imagine a world where anyone anywhere can access the latest, greatest research findings for free over the Internet. For more than a decade, scholarly communities have been working to make this a reality. Attend this session and learn how to make your own work available through a variety of Open Access publishing methods.

20. Perspectives

21. Problems

22. Adding the concept of OA
would be increasing
irrelevant "noise" in an
already overwhelming
information learning process.

24. There are already so
many things to show
students, it seems like an
extra frivolity.

26. Open Access doesn't
include titles of interest
to our students, many
of them are rather
obscure.

28. We feel that our resources
are sufficient.

29. After finding an
article through the
search engine not
being able to find it
Not getting
full articles
Limited
options
Not being able
to “Get” articles
The title comes but
when you click it
says cannot find
and open.

30. I don't know how it
could be done, given
the institutional culture.

32. ... OA is primarily of importance
to librarians.
…the students care about the
information and its quality, not
the packaging.

43. If you have an apple and I have an apple, and we
exchange these apples then you and I will still
each have one apple. But if you have an idea and
I have an idea, and we exchange these ideas,
then each of us will have two ideas.
- George Bernard Shaw
