Over the past several years, libraries have strategically brought to bear the power of a global awareness event we call “Open Access Week” to advance real, policy-driven scholarly communication change on campus. Initiated by students and marked by just a few dozen campuses in 2007,
Open Access Week has evolved into a truly global phenomenon thanks to the ongoing leadership of the library community.
Not simply an awareness-raising exercise, librarians have made Open Access Week a platform for advancing specific policy changes on research sharing and dissemination, including institution-wide commitments to open access.
In anticipation of Open Access Week 2010 (October 18–24) and beginning to formulate local strategies, SPARC has invited two leading participants from 2009 to share in the following two articles how the event helped them to advance open access to research.
