Danner, Richard A., The Durham Statement on Open Access One Year Later: Preservation and Access to Legal Scholarship (June 15, 2010). Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1628622
Abstract:
The Durham Statement on Open Access to Legal Scholarship calls for US law schools to stop publishing their journals in print format and to rely instead on electronic publication with a commitment to keep the electronic versions available in “stable, open, digital formats.” The Statement asks for two things: 1) open access publication of law school-published journals; and 2) an end to print publication of law journals. This paper was written as background for a July 2010 American Association of Law Libraries conference program on the preservation implications of the call to end print publication.
