Story "A Thrill of Extreme Magnety": Robert… : DASH Story 2017-03-28I am a physician writing memoir. I was Dr. Robert E. Gross' patient in 1954. I had severe pulmonary stenosis and had had SBE twice. In memoir, I am exploring my experience as a "sick kid" in that era and how it impacted my choice of medicine as a career and my life as a whole.Story "Learning from utopia: contemporary architecture and… : DASH Story 2017-04-12I am taking a MOOC course in the architectural imagination, offered by Harvard on the edX platform. Picon is one of the lecturers, and I got hooked into his "historical" perspective. Having access to this article helps me better understand Picon's views and approach. Thank you.Story "Like Turning a Ship in a… : DASH Story 2024-03-20I'm currently working on my Capstone "Strategic Imperative: Supplier Diversity in Healthcare for Resilience and Equity" and specific, peer-reviewed research relating to supplier diversity and equity from the past 5 years has been difficult to find. This dissertation is the best source that I have found relating to both my topic and current initiatives for my state (CA) after passing AB1392.Story “There's No One as Irish as… : DASH Story 2013-04-05Using Open Access has helped me tremendously with my research papers for school. I attend an online university and although they have an extensive online library. I have noticed many of the articles are not full text, which in a sense defeats the purpose of looking for the article online for instant access. So I really appreciate Open Access providing relevant credible work.Story "Turn His Sleep to Wake:" Sleeplessness… : DASH Story 2020-12-02My daughters are currently studying Macbeth and beginning more serious efforts in research and formal academic writing. I appreciate having the opportunity to share with them examples of in-depth academic writing related to their current literary studies. As a homeschool parent, I truly appreciate having access to this type of resource.Story "Way Down in the Hole": Systemic… : DASH Story 2013-04-01I am an independent scholar writing for publication to disseminate my research and enhance employment prospects. Recent and past increases in privatization of access to intellectual resources prevents my ready access to online databases and comprehensive library holdings. These market-driven moves by many administrations and publishers are hampering the ability of researchers and scholars such as myself to contribute to the collective intelligence of the global community. Open access initiatives will hopefully reverse the privatization trend so that all may benefit from our collectively produced knowledge. Thank you!Story "What is the History of Books?"… : DASH Story 2013-05-31Hello! I am a PhD student in Library & Information Science at Dominican University. I need to read this article for my advanced seminar on reading, and it's not available at DU. Thank you so much for making this article freely available!Story "What is the History of Books?"… : DASH Story 2013-09-24Going to university is a costly business, especially if you are supporting yourself and your major is Life sciences (because of all the extra laboratory fees etc.). I attend National Taiwan University at the moment but I grew up in the states, and although my chinese is fairly fluent, reading and writing on a university level remains a challenge. English is a much more comfortable language for me to learn in. Therefore, when my core curriculum classes assigns me translated versions of essays and articles, I set out to find the original english source. Low on money, I can't afford to buy the original english version in Taiwan, but I can usually find the book in the university library, usually but not always though. Open Access helps me read sources that I can't get to without buying the original, and helps me with getting through my university degree by providing me with the original manuscript of articles. Thanks!Story "What is the History of Books?"… : DASH Story 2013-10-05I am a minister in a major Christian denomination in the United States. I am leading a team of people who are building a new, modern hymn book for our church body. My area of expertise and leadership is how technology will play a role in the new book. I was able to access an article from Harvard through the Open Access program. I doubt I would have had access to this scholarship without such open access. Thank you so much for making this scholarship available.Story "What is the History of Books?"… : DASH Story 2014-06-10My masters dissertation in the University of Reading is based on Darton's communication circuit. I have been using the 1982 version, but ""What is the History of Books?" Revisited" is also key. The university did not have access to it and the price (US$ 30, I guess) was really expensive for a student. Thank you so much for making it freely available! People tend to think that those enrolled in a post graduate university can afford academic articles, but I have seen that this is not the case.
