Open Access Week causes quite a flurry in the blog-o-sphere. We came across an interesting article by Dorothea Salo, presenter of LIS 644, Academic Librarian and SLIS alum, on a blog in which she is a contributor, Book of Trogool. Dorothea re-posted the article she wrote for the 2008 Open Access Day Synchroblogging competition, discussing her own views on Open Access and her experiences that shaped those views.
