Come and celebrate the world’s first Open Access Week!
UBC has joined SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition), the Public Library of Science (PLoS), The Students for Free Culture, OASIS (the Open Access Scholarly Information Sourcebook); Open Access Directory (OAD); and eIFL.net (Electronic Information for Libraries), and over 200 institutions worldwide in the First International Open Access Week What is Open Access? Open Access is a growing international movement that uses the Internet to throw open the locked doors that once hid knowledge. It encourages the unrestricted sharing of research results with everyone, everywhere, for the advancement and enjoyment of science and society. Open Access is the principle that all research should be freely accessible online, immediately after publication, and it’s gaining ever more momentum around the world as research funders and policy makers throw their weight behind it. (From: http://www.openaccessweek.org/about-the-oa-movement). To help us celebrate this event we are programming a series of events and distinguished speakers in our community who will be describing how they participate in the open access movement.

Do you use UBC Library’s Interlibrary Loan or CISTI services to order articles from other (outside UBC) libraries?

UBC Library now delivers interlibrary loan articles to you electronically.  Just wait for an email saying your article has arrived, open the post-to-web link, and print off your article.

We’re pleased to offer this new service as faster and more convenient delivery for all interlibrary loan users.

Please note:  book orders and all document delivery (from other UBC branches) orders are excluded from this service and must still be picked up in person.
