Open Access Week, an international event highlighting the many opportunities and benefits of open access for the academic and research community, is October 22-28. In an effort to increase awareness of this important movement, the Furman University Libraries will be providing information and treats throughout the week.
We’d also like to invite faculty to join us for:
A Scholarly Conversation with Molly Keener, Scholarly Communication Librarian,Wake Forest University
Tuesday, October 23 from 11:30 – 1:00
Patrick Lecture Hall
Molly will discuss the various routes scholars follow to Open Access; how institutions, funding agencies and professional organizations are responding to calls for broader access; and, opportunities for Open Access participation in the liberal arts. Lunch will be provided for the event, so we do ask that faculty planning to attend to RSVP. Those who are unable to attend can view a live broadcast of the event.
