English abstract

Open Access in the Sciences is an overview presentation designed for a library science class at McGill University, with a focus on open access in the Canadian context. There are more than 3,900 fully open access journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals; more than a hundred are published in Canada. Selected examples of open access journals from across the country are presented, published by universities / libraries, societies, and government. Open access archives (disciplinary and institutional) are explored. The author discusses open access archives from an author's perspective. A brief overview of open access policies and author's rights are presented, and emerging trends and new jobs for librarians.
