My own old university, Oxford, has already done this. But if yours hasn’t do. I can do no better than to repost the AWOL post on this issue.
In memory of Aaron Swarz
“May a hero and founder of our open world rest in peace.”
While we work towards a world where scholarship is open and barriers to scholarship and harsh legal threats to sharing research are removed, please use the leverage you have to make a difference, for instance:
Whether or not you are lucky enough to be affiliated with a subscribing institution as a result of your current empolyment see if your University is listed below, if not, contact your alumni association and request, no – Demand! that they join the program. And then tell your friends!
Well said.
