Garin Buttermore, tobacco prevention specialist for Youth & Shelter Services, Inc., believes that open access to school policies makes the policies more effective. He declared his belief after studying the tobacco-use policies from seven schools in Story County, Nevada. But he's willing to generalize beyond tobacco policies. "This information [in his report on the tobacco policies], as well as all school policies from violence prevention to school board elections, should be easily accessed and available."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
