My column for College & Research Libraries News on student activism for open access has just been released.
Faculty aren’t the only users of the scholarly communication system. Students also depend on it for their education, research, and to disseminate their own ideas. And students, like faculty, have taken action to broaden access to the academic literature and maximize the value of this important resource. Libraries should seek to engage students as change makers in the scholarly communication system.
