A teacher would like to support the open-access movement in information services. In which of the following ways could the teacher most effectively promote the principles of open access in the school environment?
  1. By subscribing personally to as many completely open resources as possible to remain up to date on free online resources.
  2. By suggesting that the school pay for most open-access content used in order to ensure fair copyright for authors.
  3. By conducting workshops for teachers and students on how to access, evaluate, and use open-access resources.
  4. By reminding teachers and students that open-access materials are not peer-reviewed and can be published by anyone.
Explanation
Correct Response: C. The biggest barrier to the more widespread use of open-access resources is awareness. Most people don't know how to access, evaluate, and use open- access resources. Therefore, it is an excellent idea to spread this knowledge through workshops. A is incorrect because the teacher's personal use of open-access resources may not be seen by others, let alone followed by them. B is incorrect because open-access content does not cost money. D is incorrect because this would discourage the use of open- access materials rather than show people how to find quality open-access materials.
