Open Access (OA) is literature that is available free of charge, and also free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. The move towards OA is a grass-roots response to the increasingly high cost of journals, which makes them difficult for libraries to afford and for users to access.
Copyright is a complex issue, particularly within an evolving digital environment. This page links to guidelines on course reserves, classroom copying and educational multimedia, as well as the institution's copyright policy.
