- Open Access (OA) to scientific information is not only a desirable, but also a predictable way to succes-sive development of scientific communication. The model of Open Archive seems the best for dealing with the organization of Ukrainian scientific information resources, in particular, publications of research out-put. Ukraine is an important producer of scientific data. There are 351 universities and 119 research insti-tutes of the Academy of Sciences in Ukraine. The approximate number of those employed in science is 179 thousand, including 84,400 Doctors of Science. More than 1,500 academic journals and other scien-tific serials are published in Ukraine. But the impact of Ukrainian research is little in the world. The OA model (both «gold» and «green») can become a way out of this information blockade in Ukraine. There were 28 institutional repositories created in Ukraine in the last 3 or 4 years with total number of digital documents deposited standing at about 57,000 already, and virtually all academic journals are now avail-able through OA. Different examples of Ukrainian IRs and OA journals are presented in the paper. Infor-mation about lobbying OA at the state and institutional levels is given. Open Access to Knowledge State-ment (2009) is described. ELibUkrOA is multi-university project-development. Still low participation of Ukrainian universities in the OA movement is brought about by inability and difficulty in comprehending the entire conceptualization and importance of Open Access for a modern university.
