Every year in October academic organizations, scholars, libraries, and research institutions across the world celebrate the Open Access Week (October 23-29). This is an important opportunity to join together, take action, and raise awareness around the importance of community control of knowledge-sharing systems.
This year’s theme – Community over Commercialisation, encourages a candid conversation about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community—and which do not.
To learn more about OA and the various ways of OA publishing opportunities, you are more than welcome to visit us at Panitza Library or schedule an individual meeting with us. Panitza Library LibGuide Open Educational Resources can also help you in that direction. You can also check the updated LibGuide for Open Access Week.
