The Promise of Open Access

Who benefits from free and unrestricted online access to scholarly work and research? Everyone. Authors can share their work with global audiences without cost barriers. Libraries can provide patrons with a wide range of content more affordably. Readers gain easy access to the information they need, when they need it. And when paired with Creative Commons licenses allowing liberal sharing and adapting, research itself benefits and advances.
