In a satellite gathering before the Association's November 2010 meeting in Chania on the island of Crete, librarians grappled with issues around open access to information in science, technology, and medicine. The 19 papers cover introductory thoughts on creativity and copyrights, best practices and management, open your society, repository, journals, publications and publishing, services and technology, and quality and evaluation. Among specific topics are a practical guide from a special library on how to build an institutional repository, managing virtual environments in libraries, open access portals and social networking as a source of scientific information, enhancing institutional repositories in Ghana, and zoological science meets institutional repositories.
