A brief description of how the institution’s library(ies) support open access to research:
First, Lever Press is a publisher of open access, digital scholarship created by the Oberlin Group consortium of liberal arts college libraries across the country. It focuses on the humanities, the arts, and social sciences, but publishes works in all fields relevant to faculty in liberal arts colleges.
Second, the library has joined the Open Library of the Humanities as institutional members. OLH currently supports academic journals from several humanities disciplines and hosts its own multidisciplinary journal.
Third, the library is supporting the Directory of Open Access Journals along with 29 other VIVA (Virtual Library of Virginia) member institutions.
Lastly, we are beginning an outreach campaign aimed at collecting more faculty scholarship for inclusion in W&L’s Digital Archive, which is our open access institutional repository. We have been collecting student work, particularly honors theses and capstone projects, in the DA for approximately 6 years.
