The Penn Libraries provides several resources that help faculty and students retain their own rights so that they can archive and make their work available to others:

• The Penn Faculty Senate has issued a Statement of Principles on Open Access Publishing
• The Services for Authors Page at the Penn Libraries includes valuable information on open access publishing and developing a strong publishing plan
• Third party websites such as the sciencecommons.org and https://sparcopen.org helps an author create an open access addendum for their publishing agreements
