- Library Student Journal (LSJ) is an open access journal started by students at Simmons College in 2006 to provide an outlet for student scholarship. - In its first year, LSJ published around 40 papers from authors around the world and represented a wide range of library and information science topics. - LSJ used an open source journal management system called Open Journal Systems that was hosted on the library server with support from library staff, providing an example of a library-supported open access model.

18. “ Scholars need the means to launch a new generation of journals committed to open access…. These new journals will no longer invoke copyright to restrict access to and use of the material they publish…. Because price is a barrier to access, these new journals will not charge subscription or access fees, and will turn to other methods for covering their expense.” — excerpt from the Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2002 A library-supported OA model: What is Open Access?
