ALCTS/bepress Digital Commons Midwinter Symposium

Here There Be Dragons: Public Access to Federally Funded Research

Friday, January 24, 2014, 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m.
Philadelphia, PA

In February 2013, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a memorandum directing Federal agencies to expand public access to the results of taxpayer-funded research. Several means of addressing this mandate, including SHARE (offered by the ARL, AAU, and APLU) and CHORUS (offered by the AAP), have been proposed. This symposium will explore the complex issues surrounding the collection, organization, delivery, and preservation of federally funded research.
