The faculty of the McIntyre Library at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire have adopted an open access declaration.
Here's an excerpt:
It should come as no surprise that as librarians, we are not only committed to providing our student and researchers with open access to scholarly content, but equally focused on disseminating our own scholarship through open access options.
It is important, however, to point out that while we are committed to open access we also understand the costs associated with publishing scholarly works. It is our goal to work closely with publishers in order to carefully balance our rights as authors and copyright holders with the needs of publishers.
Be it therefore resolved that the undersigned faculty librarians of the W.D. McIntyre Library at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire are committed to open access and will strive to achieve open access for our own scholarly publications.
