Open Access Religious Resources for your Students

Abstract

Open Access (OA) journal collections can add diversity and breadth to a library’s theological resources.  I discussed my experience of creating a collection of over 800 OA religion journals in the OCLC Knowledge Base.   For OCLC member libraries, these titles may be added to their library catalog.  For other libraries, these titles are available through the Open Access Digital Theological Library.   We considered OA materials from majority world regions and languages such as Spanish and Korean.  The proceedings include a list of OA collections and a bibliography.  There was time for questions and sharing experiences.
