ABSTRACT
"All UNAM online" is an institutional mandate that represents a significant challenge due to the University size and the cultural change that has to be promoted. To support UNAM fundamental tasks, programs and projects have been developed to get advantage of the benefits of Internet, to enhance the institution's worldwide impact and the major role it plays in Mexico's higher education and research. Several university entities and academic departments participate in the Program, and their members work hard to provide access to the University's vast collections, catalogs and more.
The principal aim of this paper is to provide an insight on the evolution of the "All UNAM Online" Program, the strategies that are involved in its execution, and its achievements, as a means towards reaching an institutional culture for open access both in research and teaching.
Keywords: open access, National Autonomous University of Mexico, All UNAM Online, open educational resources, digital content.
