Session 11. Open Access Digital Resources
Open Access (OA) is here to stay … and grow
• OA > FA (Free Access)
(for whom, for how long, from where?)
• OA is universally free
(for anyone, from anywhere, at anytime)
• May be a subset of, mixed with non-OA
• May have limits in retrospectivity and currency
• You can browse, search, display substantial info
• Digital D-i-v-i-d-e alliterates nicely - but it is just not true

• Anyone + Anywhere + Anytime
• Hawaii HSPLS card carrying member
• Hawaii DOE students
• Hawaii private school students
• UH students, faculty & staff
• UH LIS students through yours truly
• Hawaii private college and university students
Free or feels like free
