Introduction to Open Access

This week is International Open Access Week 2014!  Entering its eight year, this global event is a way for the community of researchers and scholars to share what they know about Open Access, learn more about it, and inspire others to get involved to help make Open Access the norm for research and scholarship.

As described on the openaccessweek.org website, “Open Access (OA) has the potential to maximize research investments, increase the exposure and use of published research, facilitate the ability to conduct research across available literature, and enhance the overall advancement of scholarship.”

Join us from 1:00-1:30 pm today for a short presentation in the Evans Library about why and how the Open Access Movement began and what you can do to contribute. No registration is required.
