The recently released White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) memo, Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research, outlines updated guidance to require all federally funded research be made freely available upon its publication, and to be implemented no later than the start of 2026. However, there are many questions that have not yet been addressed.
OhioLINK has invited Michael Clarke, Managing Partner at Clarke & Esposito, to brief OhioLINK library staff, researchers, faculty, and administrators on the OSTP memo. He will discuss what it means for publishers and researchers, and how it may affect academic library content procurement.
Registration for this briefing is open to all OhioLINK library staff, member institution researchers, faculty members, and administrators. OhioLINK is asking for name, institution name, and title only so that they can better understand the composition of the audience. This information will not be used for marketing purposes.
