    Library staff are committed to sharing knowledge, including their own!

    by Guest Author April 17, 2024
    written by Guest Author

    Librarians at the University of Alberta have long recognized the importance of having unrestricted public access to research and educational materials. Research shows that sharing academic works openly and without cost to the reader both improves visibility and impact for academics and fosters the creation of new knowledge, at home and around the world. 1

    That’s why we passed a Position Statement on Open Access in April 2023, joining 11 of our U15* peer research libraries that had already committed to similar statements or policies. 

    While our library employees have been disseminating their work as widely as possible for many years, we’d like to mark the anniversary of this public commitment by highlighting some of those contributions that were opened up in the past year.
