The document discusses open access at Johns Hopkins University, including outreach efforts to promote open access such as a scholarly communication group website and Open Access Week activities. It also notes library support for open access through institutional memberships in publications like arXiv and PLoS. However, decentralization at JHU and a lack of faculty leadership are slowing open access progress. Next steps proposed include making open access a basic librarian competency and moving collection funds to support open access publishing.
