Athabasca University (AU) is doing a series of webcasts during Open Access Week, October 19-23. What is open access? “Open access is a movement towards open, public access to scholarly research results.” This is of great interest to me because a critical part of research is the dissemination of results and ensuing discussion. I don’t think our current model of scholarly publishing has been up to the task given the limited access journals only available to a select few who have access to them through an academic library with which they are affiliated. So, AU is offering these webinars:
- Monday, October 19 – The Open Access Scholar
- Tuesday, October 20 – Open Access Research Opportunities and Strategies
- Wednesday, October 21 – Open Access Publication
- Thursday, October 22 – Open Access Archives and Repositories
- Friday, October 23 – Open Educational Resources
