Open Access Week is October 23 -29th. Details are still being worked out, but expect to see library displays, blog content, and an on-campus event that week. Keep an eye out for announcements!
International Open Access Week is organized by SPARC and an Open Access Week Advisory Committee. For this year, they are focusing on the theme “Community over Commercialization.” The theme casts a light on some of the tensions between publishing using commercial publishers, which benefits specific private businesses, and publishing Open Access to benefit the public interest.
