Open Access (OA) refers to freely available, digital, online information. Open Access scholarly literature is free of charge and often carries less restrictive copyright and licensing barriers than traditionally published works, for both the authors and the users.
Open Access is not related to an item’s quality; the material might or might not be peer-reviewed.
While copyright and licensing may be less strict than traditional publishing, this does not mean that all OA works are in the Public Domain. Most authors retain copyright.
For more information, see Finding OA content in the Library's Open Access publishing guide.
Some professional associations provide resources for their registered members; some might also have a library. If you are a member of any professional associations or organisations, check the services and resources that are available to you.
Professional Associations can be found listed in our Library Resource Guides. Choose the discipline your are interested in, then scroll down to Websites.
Workplaces, such as government departments, police forces, hospitals, large companies, health-related organisations, and law firms, might have a library and subscribe to relevant online databases.
If you are an employee, you might have access to online resources, depending on the policies of your employer.
