[Open-access] Open Access resources

[E. Hoorn]

Hi Michelle,

Good initiative!

There is a SPARC brochure for OA in Humanities:
http://sparceurope.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Humanities-BP-final-PDF.pdf

I recently published an article in the Webjournal of current legal
issues about Diamond Open Access in the field of Law and the possible
role for librarians:

Diamond open access and open peer review: An analysis of the role of
copyright and librarians in the support of a shift towards open access
in the legal domain.
http://webjcli.org//article/view/302

Working on this article I found this article by Martin Eve to be very
useful. It was published in a OA-book specially for OA in Humanities

Eve, M. P. (2013). Before the law: Open access, quality control and the
future of peer review (Debating Open Access by the British Academy).

Best regards,
Esther
