<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This
year is the 8<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>edition
of the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.openaccessweek.org/page/about">International Open Access week</a>.
This global event is celebrated each year with the goal of sharing, learning
and inspiring others on how to make information more open and accessible. The
term Open Access was first introduced a decade ago from the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/">Budapest Open Access
Initiative</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>(BOAI), which
brought together existing projects. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">After
ten years of experience, the <a href="http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai-10-recommendations">BOAI has reaffirmed its definition</a>:<o:p></o:p></span><u1:p></u1:p></div>

<i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">By “open
access” to [peer-reviewed research literature], we mean its free availability
on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy,
distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl
them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other
lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than
those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only
constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in
this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work
and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.</span><u1:p></u1:p></i><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The
University of Ottawa is this year celebrating its<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://scholarlycommunication.uottawa.ca/open-access-week">5<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Open Access Week</a>. Much has been
done at the University with regards to Open Access, such as the creation of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://ruor.uottawa.ca/">uO
Research</a>. This open access digital repository of research and teaching
materials allows users to search materials published by the University of
Ottawa community and its affiliated partners.<o:p></o:p></span><u1:p></u1:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">When looking at communities,
sub-communities and collections, users can search for published materials by
specific research area. For example, users looking in the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://ruor.uottawa.ca/handle/10393/23440">Geography sub-community</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>within the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://ruor.uottawa.ca/handle/10393/12752">Faculty of Arts</a> can
find recent submissions to the system that relate to that general field of
research. Users also have the option of narrowing down their search by a more
specific subject, author and/or year. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The
system then allows users to download the file(s) for each specific article.
At the present time, there are only minimal entries within this sub-community,
but I suspect as time passes many more entries will be added, making this an
abundant open access portal that will proudly showcase faculty research at the
University of Ottawa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
