Open Access refers to resources that are freely available for viewing and\/or use. Open Access is part of a continuum ranging from completely closed, subscription\/purchase only access to completely open, no barrier publishing. Open Access is not related to the quality of materials or the peer-review\/non-peer-review status of the publications.
\nOpen Access materials can be excellent resources to supplement online library materials. Many scholarly and peer-review journals have opened their back issues as open access, and others have converted partially or totally to open access for all issues.
\nWhile Open Access materials are, for the most part, still under copyright by their creators, most academic and educational use is permitted without permission.<\/p>\n
