This year alone, several institutions have announced open-access </div><div>respositories where they expect all their faculty to place their publications. </div><div>(Some institutions prohibit faculty from signing contracts that give a </div><div>periodical exclusive rights to an article.)</div><div><br></div><div>I think this is a truly great opportunity for SMT to get in early and </div><div>function as an aggregator of open-access writings on music theory. Those </div><div>associated with an institution will most likely be required to deposit their </div><div>writings in their respective institutional repositories. But if they know to </div><div>notify SMT of their work, SMT can link to it from its own (future) "Directory </div><div>of Open-Access Writings on Music Theory."</div><div><br></div><div>It's potentially a wonderful thing, and I hope some members of the Society can </div><div>make it a reality.
