Open Access Jargon or Obscure Pop Culture Reference

in: Library

I’ve been reading a ton of stuff on open access recently. My brain always works in weird ways when I try to absorb a lot of new terminology at once. So I started making a mini-list of terms that cause confusion:

OA = Open Access or Important planet for Green Lantern?!

Group of Eight = Important Group of Australian Universities or Inspired Cover Band Name?

ROAR = Registry of Open Access Repositories or a TV show starring Heath Ledger that was quickly canceled by Fox?

    I’m so glad that somebody besides me remembers the Roar TV series! Sometimes I think it was a figment of my imagination.

    I swear they were rerunning it on the SciFi channel a long long time ago.

    The DOAJ does not live in Venice. :)

    Let me know if you want pointers to more reading material.

    They did re-run it on Scifi and I remember it too. I think you can get Roar on DVD.

    Wow, you’re right, Netflix has the series. Crazy!
