The University Libraries have unanimously agreed to adopt the Open Access Policy below:

OA Policy, 19 Feb 2010
"Each Libraries member... agree[s] to request permission from intended publishers... to archive the published version, or the author's manuscript in The HKU Scholars Hub... [but] regardless of the outcome [the member will] make available an electronic copy of his or her final version of the article (i.e., the "author's manuscript" or "postprint"), at no charge, to the Librarian's designate in appropriate formats (such as PDF) specified by the Librarian's Office. The Librarian’s Office will make the scholarly article available to the public in an open-access repository, the HKU Scholars Hub, or its successor."
