Session 11. Open Access Digital Resources

Open Access (OA) is here to stay … and grow

• OA > FA (Free Access)

(for whom, for how long, from where?)

• OA is universally free

(for anyone, from anywhere, at anytime)

• May be a subset of, mixed with non-OA

• May have limits in retrospectivity and currency

• You can browse, search, display substantial info

• Digital D-i-v-i-d-e alliterates nicely - but it is just not true

Jacso

• Anyone + Anywhere + Anytime

• Hawaii DOE students

• Hawaii private school students

• UH students, faculty & staff

• UH LIS students through yours truly

• Hawaii private college and university students
