Resources for Open Access and Scholarly Communication

On March 29, 2005, Brown University Library presented a Forum on Open Access Publishing, attended by Library staff,
members of the faculty and administrators, and others. In this forum John Saylor, Director of Collection Development,
National Science Digital Library and Director of Cornell University Engineering Library presented current thinking on Open
Access, based on work done at Cornell.

At the Forum, it was agreed that the Library would establish and maintain a page of links to information about Open Access
and Scholarly Communication. Suggestions for additions welcome.
