4. Resources for Authors

   - SPARC calls on campuses to coordinate open-access policy
efforts<http://e2ma.net/go/2503575340/2282533/86136155/5584/goto:http://www.arl.org/sparc/media/09-0805.shtml>

   The University of Kansas became the first public university in the U.S.
   to adopt a policy to ensure free and open access to the results of the
   institution's research outputs. As a growing number of colleges and
   universities embark on the path toward an institutional open-access policy,
   SPARC invites libraries to take advantage of a new Web resource built to
   leverage experience gained in establishing such policies to date.

“How do we pay for Open Access?” is a key question faced by publishers,
authors, and libraries as awareness and interest in free, immediate, online
access to scholarly research increases. SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and
Academic Resources Coalition) examines the issue of sustainability for
current and prospective open-access publishers in a timely new guide,
“Income models for Open Access: An overview of current practice,” by Raym
Crow.

 More SPARC guides, tools, and links for publishers are available on the
SPARC Web site.<http://e2ma.net/go/2503575340/2282533/86136159/5584/goto:http://www.arl.org/sparc/publisher/>
