Scholarship, Libraries, and Open Access Archiving Initiative
Background
In 2001, the Boston University faculty endorsed specific goals and strategies to promote
University leadership, innovation, and excellence in teaching, research, and service,
including the creation of frameworks to:
• Coordinate information and resources that promote faculty research
• Develop effective systems to support faculty research activities
• Facilitate faculty access to research funding opportunities at all career stages
• Create effective networks that promote interdisciplinary research
• Provide faculty and students with easy access to teaching-related information
• Provide students with access to faculty research training opportunities
• Integrate faculty, library, information technology and academic computing
resources
Since that time, many activities have emerged throughout the Institution in support of
these goals: faculty development in teaching and research, on-line teaching and research
resources, expansion of library and IT facilities and resources, and new methods of
highlighting faculty research, teaching and scholarly activities in School and College web
frameworks and external communications (such as BU Today).
The University’s Strategic Plan (2005-2008) emphasizes the importance of
“Strengthening the quality of the faculty…As we continually increase the profile of our
faculty in research and scholarship”. It further endorses commitments to “hiring,
promoting, and retaining faculty members who are excellent teachers, as well as leaders
in research, scholarship, and professional accomplishment” and “promoting research and
scholarship within and across traditional disciplinary boundaries”.
In 2007, the Faculty Council’s Committee on Research Activities, Libraries and Support
Services in conjunction with the University Council Committee on Scholarly Activities
and Libraries began to discuss innovative ways to advance and promote faculty and
student scholarship through digital, Open Access frameworks. In 2008, these
Committees opened a web-based university-wide discussion of these topics which
culminated in recommendations for the implementation of an initiative on Scholarship,
Libraries and Open Access Archiving. The initiative recognizes that Boston University
endorses the open and free exchange of scholarly information as a cornerstone of
intellectual freedom and views Open Access Archiving as a key element in its pursuit of
leadership, innovation, and excellence in teaching, research, and service.

Open Access Policy for Librarians and Archivists
Librarians and archivists at York University recognize the importance of open access to content creators and researchers in fostering new
ideas, creating knowledge and ensuring that it is available as widely as possible. In keeping with our long-standing support of the Open Access

available in perpetuity through deposit in York’s institutional repository, YorkSpace.
Policy Statement
Academic librarians and archivists at York University 1 commit to making the best possible effort to publish in venues providing unrestricted
public access to their works. They will endeavour to secure the right to self-archive their published materials, and will deposit these works in
YorkSpace.
The York University academic librarian and archivist complement grant York University Libraries the non-exclusive right to make their scholarly
publications accessible through self-archiving in the YorkSpace institutional repository subject to copyright restrictions.
Guidelines
This policy applies to all scholarly and professional work produced as a member of York University academic staff produced as of the date of
the adoption of this policy. Retrospective deposit is encouraged. Co-authored works should be included with the permission of the other
author(s). Examples of works include:
Scholarly and professional articles
Substantive presentations, including slides and text
Books/book chapters

Works should be deposited in YorkSpace as soon as is possible, recognizing that some publishers may impose an embargo period.
