Abstract

Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library librarians initiated an effort to increase awareness of alternative publishing venues which exist outside the commercial arena; to encourage faculty to investigate electronic publishing alternatives; and to provide a connection to open access initiatives. George Washington University now participates in four open access initiatives and interest is growing among GWU faculty.
