Another public university adopts an open access policy!

  • Posted by Jill Cirasella (she/her) on June 11, 2012 at 12:00 pm

    Utah State University is the newest public university to adopt an open access policy for its employees! Here’s the central language:

    “All employees during their employment with the University grant to the University a nonexclusive license to exercise any and all rights under copyright relating to each of their scholarly articles, in any medium, provided that the articles are not sold for profit, and to authorize others to do the same. These articles will also be deposited in the University’s Open Access Institutional Repository to ensure the widest possible dissemination. The nonexclusive license will be waived at the sole discretion of the author and will be administered on behalf of the Provost’s Office by the Library.”

    The full policy is here:

    First came Kansas, then came Utah, next comes CUNY?
