[Asis-l] Collection of essays on the subject of "Open" as it pertains to librarians of various kinds

[hleman at samhealth.org]

Hi, everyone. I would just like to pass along the item below from the discussion list of the Oregon Library Association. The articles in this themed issue of the Oregon Library Association Quarterly discuss such topics as Open Science (by yours truly), Open Source, and Open Government--important topics all. This was a nice cooperative effort by libraries of many kinds (e.g.,  academic, medical and public) and an example of Creative Commons licensing and Open Access publishing in action.

Happy reading!
