Opening Scholarship

Technology allows for efficient worldwide dissemination of research and scholarship. But closed distribution models can get in the way. Open access helps to fulfill the promise of the digital age.

• Facilitate connection. Be a sticky node, not a gate.

• Share research. Be generous and just.
