Scholarly Communication
Scholarly communication and open access continue to be an important topic of discussion in academia, as funding agencies and institutes of higher learning are increasingly turning to open access - or public access - policies to facilitate the sharing of ideas and the advancement of science and research.
The Library plays an important leadership role in raising awareness of these issues on campus and of ensuring the widest possible access to the research produced at Georgia Tech.
In addition to the publishing services we offer, we aim to provide public programming to bring about important campus-wide discussions on open access, public access to research, managing your personal copyrights, and information policy issues, to increase faculty and student awareness of their options as authors and of steps for compliance with changing funding agency requirements.
