Thanks to everyone who took the 2008 Open Access Class! I only wish the class hadn’t been so short, that there would have been more time for everyone to get to know each other.
Here are links to a few of the wonderfully creative final projects, posted with permission. I hope to hear back from more students with permission to post to their projects, perhaps when everyone is back from their summer travels.

Really nice information and I appreciate you posting this for all. I am going to point the page out to subject specialist librarians who are going to convince their faculty to deposit in the IR.

Thanks for posting this information online. I particularly enjoyed the concise format and helpful links to reliable content. I have also taken the time to share these sites with my colleagues at the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
Keep up the good work.
