  1. Approach to Open Access

  2. Discovering open access content. The emergence and growth of Open Access (OA) oblige libraries to facilitate access to external network resources (e.g. Google Scholar, freely available eBooks and publications) alongside access to owned or licensed content.

  3. One of the biggest challenge facing OA for end users and librarians is how to find OA articles.

  4. EBSCOhelps libraries to get accessto Open Access 1 • We indexed 11,000 OA publications. The OA journals are searchable alongside the subscription-based journals on EBSCOhost and EBSCO Discover Service (EDS). Our linking services allow to get access to full text directly from EBSCOhost and EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS).

  5. EBSCO takes care of the quality of OA metadata 2 • Before including any OA journal in EBSCO databases, we always refer to the best citation indexes such as WoS and Scopus and subject-specific indexes such as PsycINFO, SciFinder to maintain the quality and credibility of the publications included. • Our specialists monitor the lists of "Predatory publishers" to avoid indexing inappropriate content.

  6. EBSCO supports Open Access 3 • EBSCO is the second largest traffic generator on the Open Access websites after Google!

  7. EBSCO Information Services also supports the following Open Access initiatives • FOLIO (Future of Libraries is Open) • Open Source Library Services Platform (LSP) • EBSCO Open Dissertation
