Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Adopts Open Access Resolution

"Columbia University is joining a growing movement among universities and research institutions to make scholarly research available free to the public online. Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory is the first program at the university to adopt an open access resolution, which calls for faculty and other researchers to post their scientific papers in online repositories such as Columbia’s Academic Commons. The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote of Lamont-Doherty’s Executive Committee on Dec. 22, 2010, and will be effective on March 1....The Columbia University Libraries will begin working immediately with researchers at Lamont to support them as they upload and make their articles available through Academic Commons...."
