Celebrate International Open Access Week 2012

Celebrate International Open Access Week, October 22-28, 2012, with the University Libraries. This global event promotes free, immediate, online access to scholarly research.

Open access is a movement dedicated to transforming the traditional closed and costly system for the distribution of scholarly output into one that opens the world of learning to people around the globe. For more info:

• Join the session, “How to make your research Open Access (whether you’re at Harvard or Not)” on Tuesday, October 23, at 12:30 p.m. at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2012/10/OAweek. Open Access advocates Peter Suber and Stuart Shieber will present the session, answering questions on any aspect of Open Access and recommending concrete steps for making scholarly work open access.
