* The Voices of Open Access Video Series
*<http://e2ma.net/go/1408830695/1285181/47181080/goto:http://www.vimeo.com/oaday08>
The "Voices of Open Access" series of one-minute videos captures why
teachers, patient advocates, librarians, students, research funders, and
physician scientists are committed to Open Access. Together, interviewees
define Open Access as a fundamental component of a new system for exchanging
scholarly research results, where: health is transformed; research outputs
are maximized to their fullest extent; efficiencies in the research process
enable faster discoveries; the best science is made possible; young people
are inspired; access transcends the wealth of the institution; cost savings
are realized across the research process; and medical research conducted for
the public good is made available to everyone who needs it.
