Welcome to PAS 2.0!

Welcome to the newest iteration of the Public Access Service site. Our move to the UW-Madison Libraries system is complete and we’re ready to continue providing campus researchers and their staff with help navigating federal public access to publications policy. Over the next several months we will continue improving the site based on our users’ input, making it even more responsive to their needs. This will include more information on how to deal with journals and publishers in light of the 2022 OSTP updates that are just starting to go into effect. We will also be working closely with our colleagues in the Scholarly Communication office and Research Data Services to make sure that our clients can use the site as a jumping off point to easily locate information related to publications, such as publisher agreements, publication fees, and public access to data.

Public Access in 2025 is changing, but our focus on service stays the same.

We look forward to being of assistance.
