* This is a list in progress of information about open data policies, including case studies and guidelines, links to institutional open data policies, such as those at colleges and universities and government organizations, as well as journals with open data policies. These policies set guidelines and rules to allow transparent public access to institutional and organizational information.

* The Freedom of Information Act broke ground for more transparent government information in the United States. "For a long time now, there's been too much secrecy in this city... The old rules said that if there was a defensible argument for not disclosing something to the American people, then it should not be disclosed. That era is now over." --President Obama on the Freedom of Information Act, January 21, 2009

* Summary: "...faculty members grant Middlebury College permission to exercise the copyright in their scholarly articles in order to make those articles freely available. More specifically, each faculty member grants to Middlebury College a nonexclusive, worldwide license to exercise any and all rights under copyright relating to each of their scholarly articles, in any medium, provided that the articles are not sold for a profit, and to authorize others to do the same. Middlebury will grant these rights in turn to the authors themselves, so faculty authors may exercise the same rights."

* '''This list is still under development. Every part of it may change before the official launch, including its title, URL, and method of organization.'''
* This list includes significant university initiatives to support open access or oppose high journal prices, inflexible bundling arrangements, or oppressive licensing terms. It includes policies, projects, resolutions, statements, recommendations, plans, and (large-scale) cancellations.
* We quote substantial excerpts from public statements, when we can, because we know it is difficult to read them all separately and pull together their notable elements.
* We only list each university once, and include subsequent actions and related news stories in the same entry. In the case of the University of California, since many of the separate campuses acted before the system acted, we list them separately. In the case of the four university members of the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), we list them under the entry for the TRLN.
* Alphabetical by university.

* [http://www.unc.edu/faculty/faccoun/minutes/M05FC03.htm Two resolutions] in support of open access adopted by the Faculty Council, March 4, 2005.
* Summary: The first resolution simply resolves that "to the extent permitted by law, UNC-CH faculty are the owners of their research and should retain ownership, or use other means to foster open access publication wherever possible." The second creates two task forces, one to follow-up a [http://www.unc.edu/scholcomdig/ campus-wide convocation on OA] and one to establish an institutional repository. The second resolution also asks departments "to review tenure and promotion standards to recognize publishing in non-traditional sources" and to educate their faculty about "the problems of scholarly communications".
