Stanford School of Ed mandates open access for scholarly publishing

I actually heard this information from a faculty member at Stanford who was a panelist on open access publishing at the national library conference a couple weeks ago. This blurb made it into Inside Higher Education today (July 10).

"Stanford University’s School of Education has decided to require all faculty members to make their scholarly articles available online and free. The open access movement has been gaining ground of late, and the Stanford move is the first such policy by an education school."

A more complete account is in the July 9 Stanford News Service.
