Academic librarians were surveyed about their open access publishing practices. This analysis explores approaches to journal selection, awareness of open access options, and self -archiving practices. In this study 50% considered free open access when selecting a potential journal for publication but fit to the topic and peer review were higher priorities. Findings indicate that although many librarians are publishing in open access journals or taking advantage of institutional repositories there are still barriers including article processing charges, the tenure and promotion culture, and uncertainty around intellectual property rights.
