Ilva J (2020). Kun open access tuli Suomeen – ja mitä sitten tapahtui. Tietolinja, 2020(2). Pysyvä osoite: https://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi-fe20201217101283
Käsite ”open access” murtautui suomalaisen tiedemaailman tietoisuuteen vuosien 2003-2004 aikana. Se ei kuitenkaan ilmaantunut tyhjiöön, vaan elektroninen julkaiseminen ja julkaisujen avoin saatavuus oli tässä vaiheessa joiltakin osin jo arkipäivää. Käsite ei tullut Suomeen valmiina, sillä ymmärrys siitä mitä open access on ja miten sitä kohti pitäisi edetä on vuosien varrella muuttunut moneen kertaan. Tässä artikkelissa kartoitetaan avoimen julkaisemisen ensimmäisiä askeleita Suomessa ja tarkastellaan sitä, millaisia valintoja niiden pohjalta tehtiin.
"Kansainvälinen open access -liike syntyi 2000-luvun alkuvuosina usean eri kehityskulun summana. Kyseessä oli pohjimmiltaan ideologinen konstruktio, jolla oli taustaa sekä tieteellisen julkaisemisen että informaatioteknologian kehityksessä."

Lisa Gemmel, utredare: "Gör folkbiblioteken till samhällsviktig verksamhet. Skapa nationell samsyn kring när biblioteken kan behöva stänga. Ta vara på deras självklara plats i samhället. Det är några av våra rekommendationer i den rapport vi idag publicerar om biblioteken och pandemin.
"Svensk biblioteksförening vill att folkbiblioteken blir samhällsviktig verksamhet i samtliga kommuner och inlemmas i kommunernas krisorganisation, inte i rollen som värmestugor utan som informationsförmedlare och uppbärare av demokratiska principer. Föreningen ser också att det behövs en nationell samsyn kring under vilka omständigheter folkbiblioteken ska stänga sina lokaler och eventuell verksamhet. Den ojämlika tillgången till folkbiblioteken i Sverige under pandemin är oacceptabel."

The tale of a young man (Aaron Swartz) driven to his death for fighting for what is right, and the young woman picking up where he left off.

Aaron Swartz: ""I agree," many say, "but what can we do? The companies hold the copyrights; they make enormous amounts of money by charging for access, and it's perfectly legal — there's nothing we can do to stop them." But there is something we can, something that's already being done: We can fight back."

Biblioteken runtom i Finland utvecklar operativa modeller med hjälp av vilka biblioteken kan fungera som plattformar för deltagande, möten och en trygg diskussion. I riksdagens budgetbehandling anvisades en miljon euro för vidareutveckling och spridning av koncepten i statsbudgeten för nästa år.

The uptake of digital interventions in mental health care (MHC) has been slow, as many therapists and patients believe that in-person contact is essential for establishing a good working relationship and good outcomes in treatment. The public health policies regarding social distancing during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic forced an abrupt transformation of MHC provisions for outpatients: Since mid-March 2020, nearly all in-person contact was replaced with videoconferencing. The COVID-19 crisis offered a unique opportunity to investigate whether MHC with videoconferencing yields inferior results as compared to in-person interventions.
