WVU 2010 Strategic PlanWVU 2010 Strategic Plan
• “A University that understands the nature of permeable boundaries looks simultaneously inward and outward as it considers ways to foster a vital intellectual climate. Permeable boundaries value the influx of new ideas and new people, invite collaboration across disciplines, and extend knowledge and ideas beyond the walls of the institution. Such sharing and exchange of ideas and the people who possess them are important to advance learning and foster innovation .”

• AWP: Paper or Campus Restricted ETD• WVU Case Study
– ½ filed open access / ½ filed campus access– 69% of OA students were more successful in
publishing & career endeavors– ETD submission is graduation requirement / ETD is
examination document– ETD as cultural history– Policy Recommendation: ETD requirement enforced

Open Access…Open Access… “And by the year 2000, I predict that it’s
going to arrive. People suddenly are going to understand the meaning of what they need to do. This means they are going to share information freely with one another. People who are now holding information to themselves[…] they’re going to give it all because other people are looking for that information so that something can be developed to heal our world.”
- Chief Jake Swamp, Mohawk Nation(from Schein, Anna M., ed. White Pine Spirit of Peace: The WVU Peace Tree, 73)
