In 2006 the [[Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition|Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC)]] awarded the University of California the SPARC Innovator Award for its "extraordinarily effective institution-wide vision and efforts to move [[scholarly communication]] forward", including the 1997 founding (under then UC President [[Richard C. Atkinson]]) of the [[California Digital Library|California Digital Library (CDL)]] and its 2002 launching of CDL's [[California Digital Library#eScholarship|eScholarship]], an [[institutional repository]]. The award also specifically cited the widely influential 2005 [[academic journal publishing reform]] efforts of UC faculty and librarians in "altering the marketplace" by publicly negotiating contracts with publishers, as well as their 2006 proposal to amend UC's [[copyright]] policy to allow [[open access]] to UC faculty research.<ref name="SPARC">{{cite web |title=SPARC Innovator: University of California (July 2006) |url=http://www.sparc.arl.org/initiatives/innovator/uc |website=[[Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition]] |publisher=[[Association of Research Libraries]] |access-date=October 21, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151021140055/http://www.sparc.arl.org/initiatives/innovator/uc |archive-date=October 21, 2015 |date=July 2006}} [http://www.sparc.arl.org/sites/default/files/UC_pdf.pdf PDF] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304114857/http://www.sparc.arl.org/sites/default/files/UC_pdf.pdf |date=March 4, 2016 }}</ref>
