Open Access to Research Is Inevitable, Libraries Are Told

“I now believe that having public access to most scholarly communications is inevitable,” said David Shulenburger, vice president for academic affairs at the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities. “Faculty are coming to understand, finally, that this has to happen if they’re going to have the most scholarly opportunities to get things done.”

Lets hope that this is more than just a statement in a panel discussion at the membership meeting of the Association of Research Libraries.

If we really want to see a radical change in education then Open Access and Open Education Resources are just to initiative that must be embraced.
