Open Access – Global Open Access Portal and Canada

The PolyBlog
May 27 2018

Continuing down the Open Access rabbithole, I found the UNESCO-led site, the Global Open Access Portal. You can even narrow it down to just Canadian access sites. Which I did. And then went further down the rabbit hole with some of the following highlights:

  • University of PEI;
  • Lakehead;
  • Library and Archives Canada;
  • Laurentian;
  • McMaster;
  • Memorial;
  • Mount Royal;

  • University of Regina;
  • Queen’s;
  • University of Ottawa;
  • Waterloo;
  • Ryerson;
  • Laurier;
  • Windsor;
  • Western;
  • SFU;
  • Sheridan;
  • UBC;
  • Calgary;
  • Northern BC;
  • Toronto;
  • Victoria;
  • York;
  • Athabasca;
  • Brock;
  • Carleton;
  • Concordia;
  • Dalhousie;
  • Guelph;

Not just a rabbit hole, a full-size warren!
