Open Access Resources

The Open Access movement is increasingly overcoming traditional barriers to accessing scholarly resources. While substantial research outputs are still only available by institutional subscriptions (which JCU Library purchases on behalf of JCU staff and students) equally substantial amounts of government-funded research output is published in a multitude of open access repositories that are accessible to all.
