Advocacy
Open access is the principle that information and knowledge should be shared, free and open to anyone, utilizing digital technology for dissemination.
“We significantly influence or control the selection, organization, preservation, and dissemination of information. In a political system grounded in an informed citizenry, we are members of a profession explicitly committed to intellectual freedom and the freedom of access to information. We have a special obligation to ensure the free flow of information and ideas to present and future generations.”
- ALA Code of Ethics
The most important aspect of scholarly communication outreach is spreading
good, factual information.
