[From PubMed] Online J Issues Nurs. 2011 Nov 23;17(1):7.Open Access Part II: The Structure, Resources, and Implications for Nurses.Nick J.Abstract: “Electronic publishing has changed the landscape for broadcasting scholarly information. Now Open Access is globalizing scholarly work. Open Access facilitates lifelong learning habits; enhances dissemination and distribution of information; impacts the informatics curriculum; supports active learning; and provides areas for nursing informatics research. In the last 10 years the Open Access Movement has formalized into a distinct publishing paradigm. Many free, full-text resources are now available to guide nursing practice. This article describes the Open Access structure, and provides suggestions for using Open Access resources in classroom and practice settings. The nursing community is only beginning to accept and use Open Access. Yet all nurses should be aware of the unique opportunity to obtain free, current, and scholarly information through a variety of avenues and also to incorporate this information into their daily practice. The resources presented in this article can be used to increase nursing knowledge and support evidence-based practice.” PMID: 22320873 [PubMed - in process] [The full text article is available from “The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing” at http://nursingworld.org/OJIN.]
