Early Childhood Intervention and Life-Cycle Skill… : DASH Story 2017-01-03
Story content
I work for an early childhood advocacy organization as a fellow and as such I am asked to write issue briefs. Since we are a non university affiliated non-profit we cannot afford to pay for subscriptions for journals. When I really need an article for a brief and there are no free full text options I have to determine if access to the article is worth the fee being charged for full text access or article rental. As a non-profit we have limited resources and can't afford to pay for access. Having Open Access helps me to obtain access to the research that supports my work and writing and allows me to be fiscally responsible with my agency's funds.
