Open Scholarship on a Shoestring

Abstract

Grant funding has been central to SUNY Polytechnic’s leadership in the open access (OA) campaign on campus. Partnering with SUNY, regional, and campus associations, our library has won thousands of dollars to support educational access and affordability initiatives. Projects are selected strategically to align with campus OA priorities and faculty and student needs. Contributions to NY Heritage, SUNY Poly’s institutional repository, course reserves, professional exam prep, and adoption of a purchase on demand model are examples of projects that have been completed successfully, and more are underway.
