Educational materials about OA

This list is part of the Open Access Directory.


 * This is a list of materials for teaching, explaining or marketing open access. One purpose is to identify materials that individuals can mine for ideas for their own presentations about open access (with attribution to the original authors of course). So please don't add any materials to the list that you aren't willing to share.


 * Please indicate file formats so that users can judge whether items can be edited or mashed up. When making your own materials, please use editable formats (HTML, Word, ODF, PPT) instead of non-editable PDF whenever possible!


 * Adding information to the OAD is easy. See our help section and contact us if you still have questions.


 * Related lists in OAD: (1) Audio about OA, (2) Events celebrating Open Access Day, (3) Events celebrating Open Access Week, (4) Video about OA.
