<font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Library Faculty Open Access Resolution —December 2, 2009</span></font></font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> <br>
</span></font></p><p><font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We, the faculty of University Libraries of the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) resolve the following:</span></font></font></p>
<ol type="1"><li><font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To disseminate our scholarship as broadly as possible. We endeavor to make our scholarly work openly accessible in conformance with open access principles. Whenever possible, we make our scholarship available in digital format, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. </span></font></font></li>
</ol><ol type="1" start="2"><li><font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To deposit our scholarly work in our institutional repository, Digital UNC at the earliest possible opportunity.</span></font></font></li>
</ol><ol type="1" start="3">
<li><font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To seek publishers whose policies allow us to make our research freely available online. When a publisher’s policies do not allow us to make our research freely available online, we resolve to engage in good faith negotiations with the publisher to allow deposit of peer-reviewed, pre- or post-print versions of our scholarly work in Digital UNC. This resolution, however, gives us the latitude and individual discretion to publish where we deem necessary, given our career goals, intended audience, and other reasonable factors. </span></font></font></li>
</ol><p><font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The resolution applies to the scholarly works authored and co-authored while faculty are employed at UNC Libraries, beginning with works published or submitted for publication after December 2, 2009. The works encompassed by this resolution include journal articles and conference proceedings. We encourage the deposit of other scholarly work, including but not limited to book chapters and conference presentations.</span></font></font></p>
<p><font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This open access resolution will be reviewed by faculty of the University Libraries after one year.</span></font></font></p>
<p><font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'trebuchet ms', sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Approved unanimously December 2, 2009</span></font></font></p></span></font></font></div>
