the Graduate School of Library and Information Science,
the University Library,
and the Office of Technology Management
of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
proudly presented a

Forum on Open Access, Alternative Publishing Models, and Author Rights

The objective of this forum was to inform and engage faculty concerning open access to intellectual property. Topics included current trends and issues in scholarly communication, open access and teaching, open access and tools for discovery, and the potential for open access to increase the dissemination and impact of research publications. This forum also discussed various models for, or degrees of, openness, from open-access institutional repositories the (like University of Illinois' IDEALS) to other alternative publishing models, including independent and non-profit open-access publishing, as well as low-cost commercial publishing.
