Open Access

This group is for anyone interested, supporting or working in the 'open access' movement, including 'open source' and 'access to knowledge'.

The term 'open access' is used here in the meaning of anyone involved in providing open access to media: "it’s free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to use, download, copy, distribute, search, or link to the media, 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”.

Feel free to post interesting links to open access websites, blogs and articles and also to invite friends and colleagues to this group.

The group is run by staff from twidox (www.twidox.com), which is a free, user generated online library of ‘quality’ documents that allows individuals and organisations to easily publish, share and search for them.

Documents on twidox are accessible to everyone online and will allow people to share their knowledge and help others with their work, learning, teaching and research.
