Webliography:
Definition
A list of
electronic documents, websites or other resources available on the World Wide
Web, especially those relating to a particular subject.
The
term Webliography is commonly used when discussing online
resources. It is referred to as “Web bibliography”. Accordingly, a Webliography is
a list of resources relating to a particular topic that can be accessed on the
World Wide Web, and can be referred to in a scholarly work.
Introduction
In basic terms, the goal of the open access movement
is to take scholarly articles freely available in digital form worldwide with
minimal restrictions on their use (e.g., proper attribution of authorship). In
reality, it’s more complex than this because of differences of opinion about
what open access should or shouldn’t try to achieve. Some advocates say free
access to scholarly articles is enough minimal restrictions are not needed.
Others say that the basic goal is correct, but permanent archiving is also
required.
History of webliography

electronic related to the open access movement that are freely available on the

Concept
A Webliography
is a list of resources which can be accessed on the World Wide Web, relating to
a particular topic or can be referred to in a scholarly work. One of the main
purposes of the Webliography in education is that allows educators and
students to select and list internet sources relevant to the topic or theme
which can be used for the future references or projects, to fulfill this
purpose, many educators suggest that a Webliography should be an
annotated bibliography.
Basic Strategies
There are two basic strategies used to achieve
open access:
·
Self-archiving
(making electronic preprints and post prints available on author home pages or
depositing them in digital archives and repositories)
·
Open
access journals. Metadata about electronic versions of articles can be
retrieved by use to the open archives initiative protocol for Metadata
Harvesting so that it can be used in search systems or for other purposes.
