Unlocking Open Access: Introduction to OA Models (Online)
Open access to scholarship involves the removal of price and permission barriers, enabling the free flow of scholarly research across all disciplines of study and research. Global in its reach, open access encompasses a wide variety of forms and models, ranging in their complexity from simple and straightforward to intricate and multi-faceted. In this introductory workshop, led by Colleen Cressman, Librarian for Open Publishing, we will discuss various open access models, illuminating their similarities and their key differences. Designed with collection development and e-resources librarians in mind, we will cover recent developments in both open access publishing and rights retention.

Join Harvard Library in celebrating International Open Access Week 2025, October 20-26!
The 2025 Open Access Week theme asks, “Who Owns Our Knowledge?” In response to this important question, Harvard Library will host events and offer materials that explore how, “in a time of disruption, communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce.”
Find and register for OA Week events, read the annual Open Access Week Statement from Martha Whitehead, Vice President for the Harvard Library and University Librarian, and consider how you can participate in and reassert control over your own knowledge production.
Presentations and materials from the week’s sessions will be shared on the Open Science Framework.
If you have questions about open access or any of the Open Access Week offerings, please contact Harvard Library’s Open Scholarship and Research Data Services.
