Open Access Week 2018

Posted in: Blog

---

Open Access Week is observed every year October. It is a global celebration of “the free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you need.”  This year, the theme is “designing equitable foundations for open knowledge.”

Libraries, academic institutions, and other organizations throughout our region are marking this week with a variety of events:

• The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Health Science Library is hosting a presentation on predatory publishing.
• The University of Missouri Ellis Library is hosting an open house and a film screening.
• The University of Kansas Medical Center is hosting an Open Access Panel and film screening.
