__NOTOC__

<H1> <font color="steelblue" face="arial"> '''Open Access Directory''' </font> </H1>



The Open Access Directory (OAD) is a compendium of simple factual lists about open access (OA) to science and scholarship, maintained by the OA community at large. By bringing many OA-related lists together in one place, OAD makes it easier for everyone to discover them, use them for reference, and update them. The easier they are to maintain and discover, the more effectively they can spread useful, accurate information about OA. To see what we have, browse the table of contents below, browse the [[:Special:Categories|table of categories]], or use the search box in near the upper right corner. To help the cause, just [http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Special:Userlogout register] and [[Getting_started_as_an_OAD_contributor|start editing]]. If you have any questions, see our [[FAQs]] or [[Contact OAD|drop us a line]].

OAD is a wiki and we count on our users to keep these lists accurate, comprehensive, and up to date. Our goal is for the OA community itself to maintain the lists with little intervention from the [[Editorial Board|editors]] or [[Editorial Board|editorial board]]. We welcome your contributions to the lists, ideas for new lists, and comments to help us improve. Please [mailto:OAD.contact@gmail.com contact] us or use the discussion tabs on individual pages. The OAD is hosted by the [http://www.simmons.edu/gslis School of Library and Information Science] at [http://www.simmons.edu/ Simmons University] and supervised by an independent [[Editorial Board|editorial board]].
