Open Sesame - Harvard Sets the Bar!

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | May 09, 2008 - 08:33

The Harvard Law School faculty has established a mandatory open access policy, making the scholarship of all HLS faculty freely available from an online institutional repository, with no restrictions on use other than that it be not for profit. In the press release , newly appointed Harvard Vice Dean of Library and Information Services John Palfrey stated "The acceptance of open access ensures that our faculty's world-class scholarship is accessible today and into the future. I look forward to the work of implementing this commitment." Harvard is the first American law school to require open access to faculty scholarship.
