Share your Open Access Success story!

ASU librarians create guides to
promote Open Access resources
and how-to guides for topics like
author rights.

ASU Libraries created and supports
the ASU Digital Repository, one
location for posting pre-prints
and data for OA research and
grant compliance.

I work with Fulbright students and faculty. While
they’re at ASU, I introduce them to OA resources
and initiatives – they can use the resources
when they return home, and they can participate
in creating more OA published research.

At ASU Libraries we plan Open
Access Week events with
student and faculty speakers to
encourage more involvement.

Inspire!

Our Scholarly Communication Librarian and
I provided information on OA journal options,
impact rankings, and author fees to a faculty
member who was inspired to coordinate with his
research office to start an OA Author Fees Fund
for his department.

ASU Libraries includes memberships
& associated author fee discount
information in our Library Guides.
