In this episode, Dan Ream of VCU Libraries joins us to provide an introduction to open access publishing. In the course of the conversation we explore issues driving the practice of open access in higher education, look at some examples of successful university projects and briefly discuss what VCU is doing in regard to open access publishing. There are some great ideas and questions raised here that will be of interest to those engaged in open access publishing as well as those seeking to learn more.
