Defining OA: a Public Humanities Perspective
• The free, immediate, online availability of knowledge via research articles, blog posts, tweets, and other documents
• The rights to use these materials fully for education, business, government, etc. purposes in both digital and material environments
• The ability to self-define copyright to one’s knowledge and have that copyright respected
@jgieseking
Funding OA
• Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC) sponsors OA International Week, founded by Association of Research Libraries & membership run
• Open Society Foundations sees open access knowledge and education as inherent to its mission, a la George Soros
