Oalib used in education

While the open access (OA) movement has been moving at rapid speeds for the past year, its strongest support from academia has been from the science, technology, engineering, and education community. Broader and more rapid access to scientific papers and data will make it easier for researchers and students to create on the findings of public-funded research. This will also give citizens quicker access to the benefits of scientific discoveries. Many college libraries in Universities accept oalib to be a literature resource, and encourage students to use it.

Oalib collects thousands of open access and subscription journals information and their access to full text of research papers posted on the Internet, from world-famous publishers, societies, institutes, universities and other agencies. Oalib is not as comprehensive as many subject databases or repositories, but it is useful in that it provides one way to search across many different disciplines and subject areas. Oalib is also not served as a digital public library, which serves people to access to information and knowledge, but it just allows people to find relevant results among countless open access research papers around all the world, and link to full text of variable forms.
