Oregon State University Libraries Library Faculty Open Access Policy The OSU Libraries support open access to our scholarship and knowledge. Consequently, we encourage faculty to grant to the OSU Libraries permission to make their scholarly work publicly available. We encourage them to do so by granting to the OSU Libraries a nonexclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license to exercise any and all rights under copyright relating to their scholarly work, in any medium, and to authorize others to do the same, provided that the works are properly attributed to the authors and not sold for a profit. We encourage faculty to include in that permission all scholarly works authored or co‐authored in your capacity as a faculty member of the University Libraries, beginning with works created after March 2009. Works include, but are not limited to, the following: ! Articles ! Internal reports of interest to a broader audience ! Presentations if substantial ! Book chapters ! Conference papers and proceedings if more than an abstract When a publisher is involved who will not agree to the terms of this policy as stated in the Science Commons Access‐Reuse Addendum, the University Librarian or the University Librarian’s designate will waive application of the policy—and release the copyright back to the author—upon written request from faculty. When a waiver is granted, faculty are encouraged to deposit whatever version of the article the publisher allows (e.g. pre or post‐print). Faculty who agree to assign copyrights under this policy should deposit an electronic copy of the final published version of the work, in an appropriate format (such as PDF), at no charge to ScholarsArchive@OSU, no later than the date of publication or distribution. Alternatively, faculty members may provide an electronic copy of the final published version to the appropriate representative of the Digital Access Services Department, who will make the work available to the public in ScholarsArchive@OSU. The policy will be reviewed after three years and a report presented to the Library Faculty. Adopted by the OSU Library Faculty March 6, 2009.
