The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has published a special issue of Research Library Issues (RLI) on strategies for opening up content. The special issue focuses on new approaches being deployed to increase the amount of content that is open and available to the research library community worldwide.
In an introductory essay, guest editor Julia C. Blixrud, ARL Assistant Executive Director, Scholarly Communication, highlights the array of institutional, library, and author strategies now in use. She encourages the community to learn from the experiences of others as a way of identifying those strategies that have the best prospects for success in their own circumstances.
Research Library Issues is a Bimonthly Report from ARL, CNI, and SPARC (RLI). The freely available, online-only publication is released six times per year by the Association of Research Libraries. RLI focuses on the major issues that affect the ability of research libraries to meet the academic and research needs of the diverse communities they serve.
