Juanita J. and Robert E. Simpson Dean of Libraries and University Librarian

Advancing Open Scholarship is in the best interest of the public and of our university. This is the goal of HELIOS. As a publicly-funded land grant institution, communicating our research to the public and to scholars at a broad array of higher education institutions is in our best interest. Research by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign scholars published behind paywalls will not reach the broadest possible audience as a result of these financial barriers to access and as a result will not reach the widest set of readers, will experience reduced citations, and will face barriers to meeting their obligations to funders and the public.
