Calgary Statement on Free Access to Legal Information
by Michel-Adrien Sheppard ? June 30, 2011
In mid-May, the Council of Canadian Academic Law Library Directors adopted the Calgary Statement on Free Access to Legal Information.
The Statement, that promotes the principles of open access in legal scholarly publishing in Canada and free access to legal information in society, follows the Durham Statement on Open Access to Legal Scholarship adopted by the law libraries of major American universities in late 2008.
The Durham statement called for two things: (1) open access publication of law school?published journals; and (2) an end to print publication of law journals, coupled with a commitment to keeping the electronic versions available in ?stable, open, digital formats.?
