*Gustavus Adolpus College Library Faculty
Open Access Pledge<http://gustavus.edu/academics/library/Pubs/OApledge.html>
*

*The Gustavus library faculty believes that open access to scholarship is
critical for scholarly communication and for the future of libraries. For
that reason we pledge to make our own research freely available whenever
possible by seeking publishers that have either adopted open access
policies,publish contents online without restriction, and/or allow authors
to self-archive their publications on the web. We pledge to link to and/or
self-archive our publications to make them freely accessible.

Librarians may submit their work to a publication that does not follow open
access principles and will not allow self archiving only if it is clearly
the best or only option for publication; however, librarians will actively
seek out publishers that allow them to make their research available freely
online and, when necessary, will negotiate with publishers to improve
publication agreements.

*Adopted by the library faculty on May 14, 2009*
