Open Access Services at the PSU Library
PDXScholar, Portland State Library’s institutional repository, is our foremost open access service. PDXScholar makes PSU student and faculty research available to researchers anywhere in the world. The Library also supports the publication of open access journals such as Anthos, Hatfield Graduate Journal of Public Affairs, and the PSU McNair Scholars Online Journal.
The Library supports the development of Open Educational Resources, educational materials that everyone can use, modify, and freely share. PDXOpen projects have already saved PSU students $61,294! Stop by the Library this week to see a display highlighting some of these books on our new books shelf.
