International Open Access Week at the Library

From October 20 through October 26 the Michael Schwartz Library is celebrating International Open Access Week. This year's theme is Who Owns Our Knowledge? It asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce. It seeks to encourage a candid conversation about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community—and which do not.

About International Open Access Week

Academic and research communities are invited to learn how open access maximizes and promotes their work, provides stronger ownership for researchers and authors, and ultimately, has far reaching benefits for academia and society as a whole. Now in its eighteenth year, "International Open Access Week" facilitates the growing movement toward increased discoverability, sharing, use and preservation of information.
