A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted, any incentives or supports provided, and the repository(ies) used:
Currently, this is done on a case by case basis.
Because there is no policy, open access is voluntary. A number of faculty have published open access books and articles. For example, both Liz Raleigh’s book Selling Transracial Adoptions (Temple) and David Tompkin’s Composing the Party Line: Music and Politics in Early Cold War Poland and East Germany (Purdue University Press) are open access through Knowledge Unlatched.

The library actively supports open access publishing and is a founding member of the Lever Press, (https://www.leverpress.org/) an open access, peer-reviewed, digitally native press aligned with the mission of liberal arts colleges. As mentioned above, the library also supports Knowledge Unlatched and we participate in other open access ventures such as the Center for Research Libraries’ Global Press Archive. In addition, and in support of open access and the college’s public scholarship initiative, the library has established the Carleton Digital Commons http://digitalcommons.carleton.edu/, the institutional repository for the campus.
