Library Out Loud

Kia ora! Haere mai!

Welcome to the sixth podcast in the series, SOAP (Scholarly and Open Access Publishing). This series is part of Massey University’s offering leading on Open Access

Podcast #6 Mandates

We’ve taken an historical/chronological look at open access so far, so we’ll continue with that approach. In today’s podcast we’d like to look at open access mandates and how they have shaped the scholarly communication landscape. We’ll cover what mandates are, when they arose, who are implementing them, and the effect or impact they have or not.

Listen to the podcast and share your comments with us below. We’d love to hear from you!
