Event Title
Soaring to New Heights: Why Open Access Matters to the University
Location
Cook Library 123
Start Date
4-10-2017 3:00 PM
Description
Open Access is a commonly discussed term in academic circles, but why should the university care about it? In this session, we will discuss the ways in which Open Access can further the university’s mission through a variety of initiatives such as lowering costs for access to scholarship, making research data available in compliance with funder mandates, providing students with free textbooks, and improving the university’s reputation both nationally and internationally. If this all sounds rather ambitious, attend this session to learn why these aims might not be as far-fetched as you may think.
