Harvard Faculty Adopts Open-Access Requirement
Vooch writes "Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences adopted a policy this evening that requires faculty members to allow the university to make their scholarly articles available free online." I may not be smart enough to go to college, but at least I can pretend to have a Harvard eduction. I don't think that will be enough to get a gig as a Simpsons writer.
You should already have access to journals in your university library. And if you are not affiliated with a university, what business have you making points on such things in the first place?
Only people affiliated with a university should be trying to make use of scholarly materials to tell others how they believe the world works. Educating people is not your concern if you are outside the community of educators itself.
