The Danish Library Agency is pleased to announce, that it has signed
an Expression of interest to join SCOAP3.
The Danish Library Agency hosts the secretariat of Denmark's
Electronic Research Library (DEFF). DEFF is an organisational and
technological partnership between research libraries co-financed by
the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the Ministry of
Culture and the Ministry of Education. DEFF's purpose is to advance
the development of an electronic research libraries network making
the libraries’ electronic and other information resources available
to the patrons in a coherent and simple way.
DEFF has been closely monitoring the development of Open Access from
its birth and is active in advocating for Open Access solutions and
doing pilot projects. The invitation to join SCOAP3 to the Ministry
of Science, Technology and Innovation was discussed by the ministries
in DEFF’s Coordination Committee and on Tuesday 18 December they
approved the signing of the Expression of interest.
DEFF considers a more widely access to scientific information as an
important pillar for the Danish Government’s strategy ‘Denmark in the
Global Economy’.
