Equitable Access to Scholarly Articles Authored by UMD Faculty: A Proposed Campus Approach from the UMD PACT Working Group
Researchers and scholars at the University of Maryland are on the front lines, creating knowledge and developing innovative solutions to enhance the lives, well-being, and health of the planet and people across the world. Yet, what happens when access to this knowledge is impeded by price and permission barriers?
Join members of the UMD PACT group to consider a proposal for a new campus policy that will provide barrier-free access to a large subset of this valuable knowledge. UMD PACT is a new campus group focusing on the University's Publishing, Access, and Contract Terms related to scholarly communication.
