Liberal arts colleges would benefit from extending openness required by NIH policy

From Library Journal:

. . . The open letter, spearheaded by library directors and signed by a subset of the 80 selective institutions that make up the Oberlin Group consortium, begins with an axiom of public access support: “Academic libraries simply cannot afford ready access to most of the research literature that their faculty and students need.”

The letter outlines the benefits the similar NIH mandate has afforded liberal arts colleges, and argues that the even more expansive FRPAA bill would further “democratize access to research information funded by tax dollars.”
