The UC Libraries release the Pathways to OA analysis - March 21, 2018

In order to make informed and data-driven decisions about which endeavors to pursue at scale, the UC Libraries prepared an analysis of the various approaches to or models for achieving open access, and the actionable strategies that exist to implement each approach. This analysis, compiled in the Pathways to OA documents, was endorsed by the UC Council of University Librarians (CoUL) on 27 February 2018. The Pathways to OA is intended to assist campus libraries and the California Digital Library with an individual, and where appropriate, collective decision-making about which OA strategies, possible next steps, or experiments to pursue in order to achieve a large-scale transition to OA.
