Public Access to Government-Sponsored Research - James King (2007)
1. ALA Annual Conference 2007 Monday, June 25, 2007 Public Access to Government-Sponsored Research James King [email_address] Ruth H. Hooker Research Library U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
This session explores the 'comparative advantage' of the Federal government as it relates to the Open Access movement. It discusses the implications and imperatives for federal libraries as well as the potential impact on access to government information. Research at NRL and other Federal research agencies does not typically result in products so the only valid, quantifiable measure of research is productivity found in publications.
